If she gave birth in the bedroom, why lie about it? Perhaps to excuse the damage to the baby’s skull by “hitting the toilet” or falling in the toilet bowl.
The judge made an exception in this case.
Because she lied to police and told them she gave birth in the bathroom.
She was trying to cover up the blood stain by moving her bed a little.
Well, we don't know that she lied to police. And that wouldn't be an exception to the hearsay rule in any case. Her statements to the police are an exception to the hearsay rule, but the police officer's statement about her statement to Boyce is double hearsay. And again, I'm not sure what any of that - whether she gave birth in the bathroom or in the bedroom - has to do with whether she killed the baby. The police have admitted the baby's dna was not found in her bedroom. So, at best, they can show that her own blood was found on the carpet of the bedroom.
