Ashcraft is a pretty blonde 22 year old student at USC.
In October of 2005, she threw her baby in a dumpster outside a popular USC student bar. A homeless man was sifting through the trash and found the baby.
An autopsy concluded that the baby had been born alive but Ashcraft's attorney Mark Geragos, said Ashcraft dumped the baby because it had been stillborn.
The judge ruled that the prosecutor lacked evidence that Ashcraft had criminal intent, and therefore she could not be charged with murder.
Then due to some kind of technical legal mumbo jumbo, it seems that prosecutors are not allowed to charge her with anything else.
So Ashcraft is going to get away with murder.
Again.
In 2004, Ashcraft showed up at the hospital saying she had just given birth, but she had no baby with her. She said it was stillborn but police never found the baby in order to prove or disprove her claims. Therefore she was never charged with anything.
And a year later she did the exact same thing.

Apologies in advance for the comment on an ancient post.
I'm also keeping anonymous for soon to be obvious reasons.
I actually went to high school with this chick. She seemed nice enough but there was always something "off" about her.
She had a glide path to a great life and did...that. There's still people in the MT town she's from who still think she coudn't have done that.
I have a friend who knew her a little better than I did who had the best comment about this: "She threw her entire future into that dumpster with that baby."
