Pa. woman gives birth in sports bar, suffocates newborn and hides body in toilet tank

A Pennsylvania woman gave birth in the bathroom of a sports bar, smothered the baby boy in a trash bag and then left him to die in a toilet tank — a crime punishable by death. Amanda Hein, 26, of Allentown, has been ordered held without bail. She was charged with criminal homicide. In Pennsylvania, the intentional murder of a child under 12 is a capital offense. The baby boy was alive and healthy — carried from 33 to 36 weeks — when Hein delivered him at Starters Pub in Bethlehem, Pa., on Aug. 18, the coroner said.
