Shelby Taylor Trial

Shelby Taylor is accused of putting her baby in a trash bag and throwing the newborn in a dumpster.

In recordings from Shelby Taylor’s first interviews with police, she said she hid the pregnancy from her husband and gave birth at home before putting the baby in the dumpster.

Lawyers for Taylor, accused of the attempted murder of her daughter, admit the basic facts of the case. “The facts are: she birthed the baby, she discarded the baby,” defense attorney Dean Mureddu told the judge Monday. But, he said, her mental state that April day in 2015 means she should not be convicted of the attempted murder.

Two brothers taking trash out that day heard the baby crying and found the girl in the tied trash bag.
