27-year-old Alexandra Eckersley, daughter of Hall of Fame pitcher Dennis Eckersley, faces trial for allegedly abandoning her newborn in freezing temperatures on Christmas night 2022. Eckersley claims she didn't know she was pregnant, thought the child had died, and was suffering from substance use disorder and mental health issues. She was homeless at the time and gave birth in a tent in New Hampshire. Prosecutors argue that her son was left alone in sub-zero temperatures and suffered respiratory distress and hypothermia. Eckersley pleads not guilty to charges of assault, reckless conduct, falsifying evidence, and endangering the welfare of a child.
