Overview
- Prosecutors dismissed two second-degree manslaughter counts after Jennifer Baechle pleaded guilty to interfering with a dead body, a gross misdemeanor.
- The court ordered 40 hours of community service, supervised probation, and a two-year stay of imposition as part of the deal.
- The agreement bars the state from bringing any further charges related to Baby Angel, according to court records.
- Medical examiners told the court the cause and timing of death were unclear, with one saying the infant could have died before birth.
- The 2011 case was revived through genetic genealogy that pointed to Baechle, and DNA collected from trash and later via warrant showed strong evidence of maternity, with relatives linking a pendant and angel figurines to her.
