GUILTY NM - Alexis Avila, 18, caught on camera tossing newborn into dumpster, Hobbs, Jan 2022

[ChatteringBirds]

Honestly, it's just evil (unless someone is severely unwell).

Unless they meet the legal definition of insanity, which she didn't.

When she took the stand, did she say anything that stood out?
I wonder still about her mental health diagnoses. Why murder your baby when most new parents just want to pick up and cuddle their newborns? Did she claim remorse?

No, she was cold. The only remorse I saw was that she was caught on video. Her mental health diagnosis? If I was to guess, reactive attachment disorder as a child. Grow up into sociopath. Zero feelings or empathy.

The problem I had with her, was throwing the bag out of the car, complete toss. She had absolutely no feelings for the baby in the bag.

Do not know how far back I posted the last docket update - couldn't find it...

I did notice the time of sentencing was changed from 2pm to 9am.

16 years sound good to me!

Justice for little Saul!

 

[branmuffin]

The judge seems very humane. She is very lucky. I hope her son is as lucky in his life knowing he was less than zero to her.

Alexis Avila’s police interrogation.

Her mother's police interview

Now it’s the father’s turn.

Can someone repost these?

Judge Kristina Bogardus and Judge Jane Yohalem of the appeals court reversed Judge Cortez’s ruling. The judges cited the case of Portales daycare owners Mary and Sandi Taylor, who are accused of killing one child and injuring another by leaving them inside a hot car in July 2017. In that case, the two appealed their conviction and have been out of prison since then, awaiting a New Mexico Supreme Court ruling on the appeal

[ChatteringBirds]

The courts are much too lenient sometimes.

 

[Aycheff]

Does anyone else know if Alexis is back in prison, or still out waiting on her appeal? I can't find anything more recent than an article from December 2023 stating that she was out awaiting appeal decisions.
