The judge made the facts very clear,as far as the reports in the newspapers go I cannot see any evidence to justify charging this woman.
I do not know what other information the Police had that convinced them to Charge the woman on the face of it there was none only an allegation, that had to be investigated to get at the facts,maybe the birth attendant if she was there may have been able to take a different course of action than the mother did, in which case the baby MAY have been born alive.
Very sad anyway.

Snippet:
"Justice Nkea further stated in his judgment that the prosecution must prove that there was a death, and the death was caused by the accused, and it was caused by malice.
He said it was the duty of the prosecution to prove their case beyond all reasonable doubts, adding that it was not in dispute that the accused was pregnant and it was not in dispute that the accused gave birth, and it was also not in dispute that the baby died.
He said the accused delivered unassisted, and the baby came through his legs and the eyes were closed, and it did not cry, adding that he held it as a fact that there was no foul play and that, in any criminal case, the benefit of doubt should be given to the accused."
