FREEHOLD, NJ, Aug 21 (LSN) – Yesterday, Melissa Drexler, the girl who gave birth to a baby at her prom in June last year, shoved the baby into the trash to die and resumed her dancing, pled guilty to aggravated manslaughter. Drexler gave no explanation for her actions nor did she offer an apology. Reading from a note in court Drexler said, “The baby was born alive, I was aware of what I was doing when I placed the baby in the bag, and I was further aware that what I did would most certainly result in the death of the baby.” Drexler faces a prison term of anywhere from 3 years with good behaviour to 15 years.
