[FrostedGlass]

Thanks!

Birth??!! geez....

Twins.

Robertson's public defender asked a judge to reduced her bail so she could be with family to mourn the recent death of her mother and deliver the twins she's currently pregnant with.
Doctors have told Robertson she'll need to deliver the twins by C-section in mid-January. Robertson said she doesn't want to give birth alone while incarcerated.

Weird thing I found: Indiana Courts Case Search - MyCase

Open paternity dispute on one of Amber's children with the man she was with at the time of her arrest. "Petition to Establish Paternity" -- I'm kind of confused by this. It seems like she may have given birth to the babies she was pregnant with and he's trying to get custody of them (RM and LM) in addition to SM who was already alive prior to the arrest? It would make sense given it's been several months she's been in jail now--she must have given birth in February.

Edit: There's cases for the other kids too and a guardianship case open with her oldest son.

 

[Niner]

@FrostedGlass - I have them both on trial starting Monday, 3/6 - still a go??

TIA!
