"Testimony begins in the trial of an Emporia mother accused of leaving her newborn baby in a dumpster. Christina Devine is charged with attempted murder.
Prosecutors say she gave birth to a baby boy in October 2010m wrapped him in a trash bag, placed him in a dumpster, then went to work.
Tuesday, jurors heard from the man who found the baby who testified he remembers seeing the baby's hands moving up and down and then seeing dried blood on his head.
Prosecutors call the crime premeditated but lawyers for Devine say she did not intend to harm the baby."
................There's the whole article from ABC News, KTKA, in it's entirety. We almost don't need to know any more than what's reported. If this new mom did not want her newborn, there are plenty of people in Kansas who would love that baby, if given the chance. She did not have to leave him in a dumpster to die. Hopefully, Kansas will throw the book at her, and the rest of her childbearing years will be spent in prison, rather than getting pregnant again, and repeating her crime.
