A court ruling in New Mexico has determined that a body-camera confession from a high school cheerleader cannot be used as evidence. The confession was related to the death of a newborn child found in a trash can. The New Mexico Supreme Court made this decision, citing physician-patient privilege.

This privilege was deemed to still be in effect, despite the presence of police and the cheerleader's mother during a conversation with a doctor. Further details on this case are available from the source, including the arguments made by prosecutors and the court's reasoning behind its decision.
