The young woman is said to have hidden her pregnancy out of shame from her ultra-conservative family and gave birth to the child alone. The prosecution accuses her of putting her career above the baby’s life – the defense paints a different picture.
August had no chance of life: when he came into the world in May last year, he fell headfirst into a toilet bowl. His mother, then 19-year-old Sabrina L. (all names changed), closed the lid and pressed the flush button until the bathroom was half submerged. The public prosecutor accuses the young woman of murdering her newborn son out of a career addiction. The defense, on the other hand, paints a picture of an extremely conservative, Christian extended family in which it was impossible for Sabrina L. to just talk about her pregnancy.
