Hearing In Bi-Lo Center Baby Case Cancelled
Jessica Blackham was going to appear before a judge in connection with her arrest last year for allegedly leaving her newborn child in a toilet at the Bi-Lo Center.
The 25-year-old woman accused of leaving her newborn baby in a Bi-Lo Center toilet last year was scheduled to be in court Tuesday, but her hearing was cancelled, according to WYFF4.
On Feb. 4, 2011, a newborn baby was found in a toilet in the women's restroom at the Bi-Lo Center, where a circus was being held. Jessica Blackham eventually turned herself in to the Greenville Police and admitted she had abandoned the child.
She faces two counts of felony child abuse and one count of unlawful neglect for the incident, which she later claimed she had little memory of due to amnesia.
