America's Baby Is in Handcuffs: Baby Jessica Arrested 39 Years After Famous Rescue

About this episode

The episode discusses the recent arrest of Baby Jessica, now Jessica McClure Morales, on domestic violence charges, alongside updates on the Tanner Horner trial and Sherrone Moore's sentencing.

Plus: New rape testimony rocks the Athena Strand sentencing phase — and Sherrone Moore walks out of court a free man. She was eighteen months old when she fell into a well in Midland, Texas, and the whole world held its breath for fifty-eight hours. Baby Jessica became America's child. This week, Jessica McClure Morales — now forty years old — was arrested at her Midland home on domestic violence charges. We have the story. Then: the sentencing phase of the Tanner Horner trial has delivered its most devastating testimony yet — two women who say Horner raped them as teenagers, and forensic evidence that the jury will not be able to unsee. And former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore has been sentenced. He will not see a single day in jail. Join our new FB groups page here. Take the poll!
