Buried Baby Case Mostly a Defense Verdict

The sensational case of the cheerleader charged with killing and burying her newborn baby has ended with a conviction on only one charge, that of "gross abuse of a corpse."  Key defense evidence included medical opinions that the child was stillborn, supporting the defense theory that the defendant, who had admittedly concealed her pregnancy and the birth, had no role in any intentional murder.  Basically, the jury found the prosecution had only managed to prove improper disposal of remains.
