About this episode
Laken Snelling's chilling courtroom confession reveals the details of her concealed pregnancy and the subsequent actions she took.
She gave birth alone, ended her newborn son’s life, hid him in a trash bag, and went to McDonald’s. Now, former University of Kentucky cheerleader Laken Snelling has admitted it all in open court. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down Laken Snelling’s chilling courtroom admission, the major contradictions in her original story and the evidence prosecutors say proved she concealed her pregnancy and attempted to cover up the birth. Why did prosecutors agree to a plea deal, and could Snelling serve just 10 years after admitting she deliberately deprived her baby of oxygen?
