Mom on Trial for Baby's Death

0:00On April 27, Nicole Blaine, a 30-year-old mom from Greenock, is on trial for murdering her three-week-old daughter, Thia Wilson, back in July, 2023. Prosecutors say she shook the newborn and slammed her against something hard, causing two broken ribs and three skull fractures that led to her death. In the hospital, Blaine denies it all, calling it a tragic accident in her flat. She told the high court in Glasgow she put Thia down for a nap in the crib, then crashed out herself. When a neighbor knocked, she woke up and found the baby on the floor, no diaper or blanket, just badly hurt with no clear idea how. Earlier witnesses said Blaine pointed fingers at another kid in the home, but now she insists she'd never meant to blame anyone and has no clue what went down. She broke down saying she'd never hurt her girl in a million years and the image of holding her dying baby haunts her forever. Prosecutors push back hard, calling her story nonsense and saying she panicked after injuring Thia herself.

1:00Blaine shot that down, owning only that falling asleep was her big regret, something she'll carry life long. The trial under Lord Scott rolls on with the jury weighing her words against the brutal evidence.
