California teen will be charged as adult in death of newborn

MADERA COUNTY, CA

ABC30 in Fresno reports that she claimed her baby girl was stillborn, but the autopsy apparently tells a different story.

According to ABC30, the baby girl was found wrapped in a plastic bag and stuffed in a cabinet below a bathroom sink. The teen reportedly moved to the area from Mexico just days before giving birth.

Prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty.
