A New York woman is facing murder charges for deliberately killing<\/a> her newly-delivered baby boy. According to the Erie County District Attorney’s Office, 30-year-old Andee Wright of Tonawanda is being indicted on second-degree murder charges for intentionally inflicting blunt force trauma on the child with the intent to cause his death mere minutes after delivering him at home. While the baby died almost one year ago, on October 5, 2020, District Attorney John Flynn doggedly pursued the alleged “miscarriage” case because the details seemed fishy to him, and only recently amassed sufficient evidence to bring Wright to trial.<\/p>\n

Nearly a year ago, Andee Wright’s boyfriend returned home after a night out with a friend to find the woman in “medical distress.” At that time, she told them that she had suffered a miscarriage of her 38-week gestation baby. Factually, any intrauterine death of a preborn child after 20 weeks is classified as a stillbirth rather than a miscarriage, but stories regarding the case repeatedly refer to Wright’s insistence that she had ‘miscarried.’ Not long after Wright was taken to the hospital, the baby’s body was discovered inside a trash can in the basement of the home she and her boyfriend shared.<\/p>\n

When District Attorney Flynn learned of the case, his primary concern was whether the child was born dead or alive. Flynn commented, “I had to make sure that the baby was born. I had to make sure that my i\u2019s were dotted and my t\u2019s were crossed and I was 100 percent sure beyond a reasonable doubt of going to a court of law that it was not a miscarriage.” Wright apparently killed her son moments after his delivery. Flynn said, “When I say quick, it was quick.” Flynn shared few details of how the child died, other than that multiple blunt force traumas to his head caused skull fractures leading to his death.<\/p>\n
