Former President Trump returns to Pennsylvania for the first time since he was shot in an assassination attempt during a rally.Defendant Alexandra Eckersley is sworn in to testify during her trial at Hillsborough County Superior Court, Wednesday, July 31, 2024, in Manchester, N.H. Eckersley , the daughter of baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Dennis Eckersley , is accused of abandoning her baby after giving birth in the woods in subfreezing temperatures on Christmas night in 2022.
Prosecutors said her son was left alone for more than an hour as temperatures dipped to 15 degrees Fahrenheit and suffered respiratory distress and hypothermia. She said she started having stomach pains earlier that day and thought she was constipated, but didn't feel any better after a man who was staying with her gave her ibuprofen and medicine for an upset stomach.She said she didn't know what labor pains felt like. When asked by her attorney, Kim Kossick, when she realized she had been pregnant she said, “when the baby came out of me.”
Prosecutor Alexander Gatzoulis said Eckersley intentionally led first responders to a different location, because she did not want to get into trouble and did not tell them at first that the baby had cried after she gave birth. She was the only one who could lead them to the baby because the man had left, he said.
