For those wondering what happens:

The case is difficult to prove because there is no body. Tommy and Christina claim they abandoned the baby in the hotel room, expecting that he'd be found and taken to hospital. McCoy can prove that they have repeatedly lied about what happened, and that the baby was born alive. They even went to a party right after Christina gave birth. The jury favors Christina - but then the baby's body is found on a construction site to which Christina's father, Warren Talbert, had keys. Talbert says Christina told him about the baby, and he went to the hotel to look; but the baby died and Talbert hid the body. He is clearly lying as the autopsy shows the baby was strangled. Talbert won't testify against Christina even when offered immunity from prosecution, so McCoy has him jailed for contempt of court. When the trial resumes, Christina's lawyer posits that Talbert killed the baby. Since Talbert refuses to testify, there's reasonable doubt. Christina and Tommy are both acquitted, and there isn't enough evidence to charge Talbert with anything. We're left not knowing for sure who killed the baby: Christina or her father.
No one is ever held responsible for murdering the baby.

All these 9 minute recaps is a new YouTube rabbit hole to fall into

[jexelbur]

“Don’t worry, somebody else will take notes for you.”

Lennie seems to find the most relevant one-liners.

[hannesmayer]

"I allready checked under the bed."

That's a real professional... lmao...

[jonathansmall]

“Oh don’t let us interrupt we’re just auditing” Lennie and his one liners haha

[allanfifield]

I love "Lying is only going to make things worse." News Flash - You're being interviewed by the police. Things already are worse.

[samanthajones]

I really wish Peacock would put the older seasons on

[starpawsy]

Lenny - "I already checked under the bed". Classic.

This is crazy they could have left that kid at any safe place. I know they had the hospital back then that was a safe place.

the book store woman seems like such a sweet heart 😊

There’s no way she would have been able to miscarry or abort in just a few days. And there’s no way none of the other rooms wouldn’t have heard her. I miscarried at 3months and the process went on for DAYS. And it was the most excoriating pain I’ve ever felt. I couldn’t not scream and the amount of blood I lost was insane.

It's truly horrifying how common this type of case is

[JustNo]

the clerk in the green blouse is teh original "watched too much anime"

RIP Benjamin Hendrickson.
RIP Jerry Orbach

[ExplorerDS]

Ah, good old James Rebhorn. When you needed someone to play a slimy, scummy, underhanded, untrustworthy person, he was the man to call.

[jamesfracasse]

Typical case of getting knocked up and not wanting to tell Mommy and Daddy about it and ruining your life type of story 😮😢! What else is new? 8:53

[joelellis]

Lenny: I already checked under the bed!

😂😂😂😂

[deliafredericks]

Our girl is a good girl
No, not my Christina! 😢

[kimspencer]

Hal Munson from As The World Turns…😭😭😭

[winternow]

Always the worst timing for arrests...and a great one-liner to go with it.
