Woman gets ten year sentence for murdering her baby

A young woman who killed her baby shortly after secretly giving birth has received a ten year prison sentence. An autopsy revealed that the baby boy had been born fully developed and healthy and had been strangled shortly after birth. The woman, who was on drugs at the time, wrapped him up in a blanket and disposed of the body. She told the court the baby had shown no signs of life and she had thought it to be stillborn. A medical expert disproved this saying that the baby had managed to take a few deep breaths and had most likely cried before being strangled.
