Meanwhile, Alexandra Eckersley, the daughter of baseball Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley, was found guilty of reckless conduct for abandoning her baby in freezing conditions after giving birth in the woods, although she was acquitted of assault charges. In Indiana, Taylor Smith was convicted of neglect resulting in death and drug possession related to the death of her one-week-old child, with her sentencing set for August 22.
