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 confessing to discarding a newborn in a trash can cannot be used as evidence due to physician-patient privilege. The court determined the privilege was not waived despite police and Trevizo’s mother being present during a doctor’s discussion about the dead infant, citing her compromised medical condition and lack of Miranda warnings.
