Cops: Mom Acted 'Unconcerned' Over Infants Death

September 26, 2012 Updated Sep 26, 2012 at 10:12 AM PDT

A San Diego woman accused of strangling her infant son, and throwing him out of a third-story window to his death was “calm and unconcerned about the baby,” a police sergeant testified Tuesday.

Zewoinesh Badasso, 32, of North Park, faces a first-degree murder charge in the death of her 7-month-old son, identified in court records as David N.

Badasso's defense attorney said her client told her she was opening a third-story window while holding her baby on Sept. 7 when the boy fell to his death.

But in an interview outside the courtroom, defense attorney Amy McDonald indicated she will not argue that Badasso is innocent, but will instead claim that Badasso suffered from ”post-partum psychosis”.
