I agree that based on someone POSSIBLY hearing a baby cry it would be mere speculation on our part. However, as I said if there was air in the lungs the baby took at least one breath which would strongly indicate live birth (of course, those extenuating factors listed may have an effect) and if the baby drowned this seems to indicate water in the lungs and not amniotic fluid.
Maybe it is a hypothetical assesment but I lean towards the deliberate killing scenario. Good thing I'm not a judge. Of course I suppose I'd be a little more open minded if I was.
