Woman Faces Another Charge In Newborn's Death

Last updated on Wednesday, August 27, 2014

(SOUTH BEND) - A northern Indiana woman will face a feticide charge in the death of her newborn.

A judge ruled the charge can stand against 33-year-old Purvi Patel.

The baby's body was found outside a Mishawaka restaurant in July 2013 in a trash bin. Patel told doctors the baby was stillborn, but a forensic pathologist ruled the infant was born alive.
