From Times Wire Reports
A judge in Pittsburgh ordered a midwife to stand trial in the death of an infant after a complicated home delivery.
The order that Judith Wilson, 48, face an involuntary manslaughter charge came a year after the Allegheny County coroner recommended prosecution, saying Wilson did not do enough to help the baby when the feet-first delivery began.
Isaac Daley died Nov. 21, 2002, two days after he was born at the home of his parents, Jonathan and Heather Daley. The Daleys oppose the criminal charges.
