This is a damned if you do and damned if you don't scenario. I say that there are enough victims in this story.
Agreed.

Really what is there to say in this case, none of us were there, none of us really knows for 100% sure what happened in that room. Would most people say that killing a living breathing baby is murder... yes. Did the courts say that killing a living, breathing baby is murder... yes. What they couldn't determine for 100% sure was if the baby was in fact living and breathing and was subsequently killed. We can take this into the hypothetical... but unless one of us is an eye witness, I would suggest that a certain degree of presumed innocence is a good thing in a justice system. I'm glad we don't have the death penalty here simply for the amount of people that have been released from our jails in the last 5 years because of new DNA evidence that was able to clear them after 10 and 20 years in jail. I for one think that hypotheically it's a crime and it should be punished, but I'm not equiped with the evidence to make that judgement.
