The toddler’s cries carried upstairs and did not subside. For nearly an hour, Rehma Sabir wailed. Around the time that her mother left for work, her cries grew louder still.
Hearing the noise, a neighbor rapped on the apartment door, timing her knocks with the baby’s gasps for air. But no one answered.

What a system we have with immigration and police dpeartments and the court system. This woman has been arrested, or in court numerous times, complaints made by neighbors and not one department had the foresight to even think if this woman was here illegally. Will this unnecessary death of a baby now make our departments "just a little more aggressive" in checking into the status of criminals living in this country? Round up all these illegals and send them back. Other countries do, why can't the USA? Oh, I forgot...we have bleeding hearts who want them to stay.
Wake up....
Not all illegals are criminals. You seem to equate the two. Foggy thinking.
Since this whole case is being discussed in the media and it shouldn't be before it goes to court, what bothers me is not only the latter but also the fact that witnesses are not revealed. It seems unfair that the accused woman has no way to know who these witnesses are so she could have a chance to question the validity of their observations and in the name of fairness be allowed to do so in her own defense. Her name is revealed but not theirs. Why?
"Tests indicated that Rehma sustained massive brain swelling and found several bone fractures between two weeks and two months old." Until further investigation is done along with the autopsy, an assignment of guilt should not be assumed...
