David and Arthur were represented separately.

Clara had her own attorney too.

Sarah Jenkins outlined the factual basis for the proposed pleas and the evidence the state was prepared to present.

The cord was one part of it.

My account, Clara’s statement, the delivery driver’s observations, the responding officers, and the vehicle and medical records were others.

The medical material described the emergency and early delivery.

The prosecution did not need to turn the doctor into a witness who could read David’s intentions from a monitor.
