Alexandra Eckersley, daughter of Hall of Fame pitcher Dennis Eckersley, testified that she was unaware of her pregnancy when she unexpectedly gave birth in subfreezing temperatures on Christmas night 2022, believing her baby had died. At 27, she was homeless and living in a tent in Manchester, New Hampshire, and reported severe stomach pains earlier that day, mistaking them for constipation. A forensic psychologist noted Eckersley's history of untreated mental health issues and substance abuse. Prosecutors recounted that her son was abandoned for over an hour in 15-degree Fahrenheit weather, leading to respiratory distress and hypothermia. Eckersley faces charges, including assault and endangerment, and maintains a not guilty plea. During her testimony, she recounted the confusion of the situation, stating, 'I didn’t know what labor pains felt like.'
