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 cheerleader, cannot be used as evidence in her prosecution for the death of a newborn found in a trash can. The court determined that physician-patient privilege was not waived despite police and Trevizo’s mother being present during a doctor’s discussion about the baby, citing her compromised medical condition and lack of Miranda rights.
