High school cheerleader’s body-camera confession that she put a newborn in the trash cannot be used as evidence, court rules
The New Mexico Supreme Court ruled that body camera video of Alexee Trevizo, a high school senior, cannot be used as evidence in her prosecution for the death of a newborn child, citing physician-patient privilege despite police and her mother being present during a doctor's disclosure. The court found Trevizo lacked the capacity to waive the privilege due to her medical condition and was not Mirandized.
