This is a question for you…If the charges in the Bynum case were dropped about abuse of a corpse, How can someone be sent to prison because she had a baby out of wedlock ?? Was the sun not shinning and things went back to the dark ages? I don’t understand this. Anyway, Thanks for keeping Monticello inform about things….
Birdlady, I think if you reread the report you will see the charge was “concealing a birth.” I wasn’t at the trial, but I think that probably means she intentionally keep the fact that she was pregnant hidden. I am assuming the jury thought that medical attention should have been sought, yet the young lady choose to keep the birth private instead- which caused the unintentional death. The evidence must have shown that, had she revealed the pregnancy and sought medical treatment, then the child would have had a greater chance at survival. Again, I am speculating. I was not at the trial. I don’t think her marital status was part of the decision.
@BirdLady – That’s not what concealing a birth means. From a 3 second Google search: Any person who, without a lawful burial order, disposes of the body of any newly born child with intent to conceal the fact of its birth, whether the child died before, during or after birth, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding three years.
Glad it has been googled. However, “contemplating” is correct in as much as “wedlock” or “marital status” has nothing to do with the crime.
