So what should be done to this teen who seemingly killed her new born and buried it in her yard?
Is this late term abortion or murder?
She claims that the baby was born stillborn.
Since the kid was born, it wasn't abortion, and since it was stillborn, it wasn't murder.
Authorities have charged her with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, gross abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence and child endangerment.
If the child was indeed stillborn, then the only charges that seem to hold weight are 'gross abuse of a corpse' and tampering with evidence.
The authorities need to determine when the child died.

According to the article, the infant had trauma to the head.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidWell today people are advocating for late term abortions.
In either case, it wasn't abortion.
In other words, they would survive fine outside the womb if born but it is somehow Ok to kill them, just because.
Here is a woman given a 1 year sentence for throwing some new born puppies into a trash bin.

I wonder if she will see a longer jail time than the teen or if the teen will even see jail.
@earl-of-trumps saidAnd how would they go about that?
They surely *ought* to be able to tell if it was stillborn. It all stems from there.
You watch too much tv.
@wolfgang59 saidIf there was a body then yes they can but when it's nothing but bones then no.

Skull fractures will be what gets her convicted...maybe.
@patzering saidThat can be caused by the birthing process
I read it.
Unexplained skull fractures?
She's a killer.
@athousandyoung saidLearn something new every day I guess.
That can be caused by the birthing process
It's a tough case.
It would be interesting to see how this goes.
@athousandyoung saidThe question of ‘intent’ will figure in to this. If the baby was indeed dead, but she THOUGHT she was killing, thus intended to kill, they won’t go easy on her
That can be caused by the birthing process
