Lawyer, Judge Erupt in Anger in Gosnell Trial
Joseph A. Slobodzian, Inquirer Staff Writer
He is known
only as "Baby Boy B," a fetus estimated to be 28 weeks old, found frozen
in an altered one-gallon plastic water jug in Dr. Kermit Gosnell's West
Philadelphia abortion clinic.
His passing went unnoticed and undocumented, but on Monday,
prosecution and defense lawyers struggled to get Philadelphia's chief
medical examiner to say whether he was stillborn or killed by Gosnell
after being born alive during an abortion.
"Based on the totality of the evidence . . . you cannot testify to
anyone that this fetus was born alive?" Gosnell lawyer Jack McMahon
asked Medical Examiner Sam Gulino.
"No I cannot," replied Gulino.
Then Assistant District Attorney Edward Cameron flipped around
McMahon's question: "Can you think of any reason why the neck was
severed if that baby was not born alive?"
