A 43-year-old Alabama mother has been charged after her newborn baby was discovered dead inside a bin liner, with her shocking courtroom defence leaving many in disbelief.
According to reports, the woman appeared in court this week following the grim discovery of her infant son's body. Prosecutors allege she concealed the pregnancy and birth before disposing of the child in a plastic bag.
Bizarre Courtroom Claims
During proceedings, the defendant offered an unusual explanation for her actions, claiming she had been unaware of both the pregnancy and subsequent birth. Medical experts testified this was medically implausible given the full-term delivery.
"The evidence clearly contradicts her account," stated the lead prosecutor. "This was a conscious decision with tragic consequences."
Community Outrage
Neighbours expressed shock at the allegations, describing the accused as a "quiet woman" who showed no outward signs of pregnancy. Local authorities have confirmed the infant died shortly after birth, though the exact cause remains under investigation.
If convicted, the mother could face life imprisonment under Alabama's strict child endangerment laws. The case continues to draw national attention as disturbing new details emerge.
