#NextLiveTrial: #MeganBoswell was 19 years old when she was charged with the murder of her 15-month-old daughter #BabyEvelyn.The child's remains were found inside a trash bag in March 2020, weeks after the #AmberAlert was issued. #CourtTV - Jury Selection Begins Feb. 3

That picture of her with her little toesies is my favorite. So many of is who could never have children would give anything to have a child, and this one just threw her daughter away like garbage.

The ME ruled baby Evelyn was alive when she was wrapped in foil, a blanket, and a garbage bag and dumped upside down...

The Megan Boswell trial is set to begin in moments at 9 a.m.The state has dropped one of the false reports charges. There are now 19 total charges.Only one video and one still camera are allowed in the courtroom.


Reporters are NOT allowed to have their phones in the courtroom-- pen and notepad only. I'll be dipping in and out and watching virtually throughout the trial.

You can watch the live stream on

She threw her precious baby away; and she wouldn’t take any accountability for what she did. She lied to investigators; blamed other family members saying baby Evelyn was with them, knowing all along what she did to her baby. I have no empathy for MB. moo

Judge saw a light flash from some dummy that took a photo. He had to clear the jury out for a recess while he gave the person a dressing down. MB's opening statement was interrupted.

... prosecutors began by stating they needed to dismiss Count 18 against Boswell, one of the many counts of false reports against her. Judge Jim Goodwin dismissed the charge.

... Count 18 alleged that Boswell made a false report to Sullivan County detectives and a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation by claiming either she or another person rolled over onto Evelyn while sleeping, resulting in her death.

Just tuning in… crime scene photos being entered into evidence. First photo is of the playhouse with door closed. Next is with door open, shows the trash can where Evelyn’s body was found.

Garbage is packed in the playhouse, stacked high, maybe 5 feet in some areas. Some items appear to have been there for a while.

Oh so sad. They just showed a photo with a portion of EB's little leg showing.

Black trash bag was removed from trash can, next bag showed a portion of Evelyn’s body. Detectives called the ME.

Megan watching the witness intently, appears nervous, fidgeting a little.

Agent Farley (sp?) continues to describe the contents of the trash bag, I’ll skip his descriptions. Photos aren’t being shown on camera thank goodness, it’s grisly.

Evelyn was dressed in a pink onesie, wrapped in a fleece blanket, aluminum foil.
