- New Mexico woman's bodycam confession about hiding newborn baby in hospital garbage tossed by state court
The New Mexico Supreme Court ruled body camera footage of a woman confessing to hiding her newborn in a hospital trash can cannot be used in her murder trial due to doctor-patient confidentiality. The court also excluded surveillance and bodycam footage, stating her medical information was disclosed without her consent during a compromised condition.
