It’ll have to wait until the summer.
Former Manchester University student and Elkhart native Mikayla Munn, 22, had been scheduled to go to trial on May 22. However, she’ll now have her trial on July 24, according to the Elkhart Truth.
She’s facing 45 to 65 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000 on her murder charge. That’s on top of 20 to 40 years and the same fine for a charge of child neglect causing death.
A probable cause affidavit filed in Wabash Circuit Court says Munn searched for home abortion methods in February. It says she discovered in mid-2015 she was pregnant. This despite her statements to police she was unaware of her pregnancy when she gave birth March 8.
Police say first responders called to Munn’s dormitory room March 8 found the woman and the infant in a bathtub and the child wasn’t breathing. He was later pronounced dead.
The Wabash County Coroner’s Office determined the baby had taken a breath and that was alive at the time of birth, according to the Elkhart Truth.

It is legal for a doctor to kill babies, just not legal for the mother of the baby???? Do these people that “govern” us have any idea how inept they are? That is a rhetorical question…
Same thing I was thinking ^^^ one murder is ok but another is fine? So stupid.
