- Angela Onduto, a physical therapist, was sentenced last week to six years in prison after pleading no contest to voluntary manslaughter for killing her newborn baby.
- In May 2009, a man collecting recycling was digging through a dumpster at an apartment complex in Union City, about 30 miles south of San Francisco, and discovered the body of a newborn baby girl , SFGate reported.
- Onduto was initially a possible person of interest due to being in her 30s, but authorities could not charge her until new DNA technology and a Costco receipt linked her to the crime.
- After her arrest last year, Onduto's medical license was revoked, and she pleaded no contest to the charges in April.
- Onduto’s lawyers argued the case had nothing to do with her career as a physical therapist, and that she had “labored for hours overnight and gave birth alone in her bathtub, then drowned the baby almost immediately post-partum,” according to The Mercury News.
