Add The New York Post on Google The bodycam confession of the New Mexico teen who tossed her newborn baby into the trash at a hospital cannot be used by prosecutors in her murder case due to doctor-patient confidentiality, a court ruled Thursday. The justices of the New Mexico Supreme Court voted unanimously to exclude at trial any statements the then 19-year-old Alexee Trevizo made in front of police while at the hospital in 2023, determining the remarks are protected under doctor-patient confidentiality, People reported. 7 New Mexico Supreme Court voted unanimously to toss any statements the then 19-year-old Alexee Trevizo made in front of police while at the hospital in 2023. Artesia City Jail “I’m sorry, it came out of me. I didn’t know what to do,” Trevizo can be heard saying in the footage. “I was scared,” she added, before telling nurses that “it was not crying or nothing.” The state’s highest court also upheld the Fifth Judicial District Court’s decision that any surveillance footage and police body camera video of Trevizo at the hospital is also protected by doctor-patient confidentiality and therefore not admissible in court, the outlet reported.

I didn’t know what to do,” Trevizo can be heard saying in the footage. Law & Crime Prosecutors previously argued that any conversations between Trevizo, her mother and medical staff that happened in front of police in her hospital room should be allowed at trial. Police had not yet read Trevizo her Miranda rights prior to those conversations — but prosecutors tried to argue that the teen had made the comments in front of police, not directly to an officer and therefore she did not need to be Mirandized. The high school cheerleader was also receiving medical treatment when the cops entered her hospital room wearing bodycams. 7 Alexee Trevizo presented to the ER on Jan. 27, 2023 complaining of back pain. Artesia Police Department “Despite her unresolved medical crisis, Dr. [Heather] Vaskas, without authorization, ambushed Defendant, bringing with her two armed officers who stood in the doorway of her hospital room, and disclosed her personal medical information to all persons in the room without warning,” the court stated in an opinion written by Justice Michael E. Vigil. The opinion added that because Trevizo was “not given the opportunity to exclude anyone from the room before Dr. Vaskas discussed her condition in the presence of others,” and was in a “compromised medical condition,” the court “cannot conclude that Defendant’s waiver of her physician-patient privilege was voluntary.” The now-22-year-old was charged with first-degree murder on May 10, 2023 , after her newborn baby was found dead in a hospital trash bin. 7 She is seen in the security footage clutching her bum as she ran to the bathroom. Evanne/YouTube Months earlier, on Jan. 27, Trevizo went to the Artesia General Hospital complaining of severe back pain, and hiding her pregnancy from her mother and doctors even as she was actively in labor. Trevizo is seen in security footage running out of her hospital room toward a hallway bathroom while clutching her bum. Her mother followed Trevizo toward the bathroom and knocked multiple times but was not allowed in and waited with nurses for around 20 minutes. 7 The then-19-year-old admitting to throwing her baby boy in the trash. Artesia Police Department Before a nurse was able to unlock the door, Trevizo opened the bathroom door and was found cleaning up a heavy amount of blood on the floor. Doctors originally thought the bloody mess was from the teen attempting to terminate her pregnancy. But a custodian sent to clean up the bathroom discovered a newborn baby boy inside the trash that was no longer breathing. 7 Trevizo was released from jail and attended her prom later that year. @vxmartinezz/Twitter The New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator later determined the newborn died by homicide. While Trevizo maintained the baby was stillborn, the district attorney’s office filed charges against Trevizo based on her confession as well as video taken from hospital security cameras that showed the teen coming and going from the bathroom where the newborn was discovered. Following her arrest, Trevizo was released from jail and permitted to finish the school year without an ankle monitor or house arrest while waiting for trial. 7 A trial date had been set for Aug. 26, 2024, but was ultimately scrapped after a judge ruled that Trevizo’s statements and all footage from the hospital were inadmissible. TikTok She attended prom and had planned to walk in her high school graduation while awaiting trial, but the school ultimately asked that she not attend the ceremony. Trevizo was allowed to attend New Mexico State University, where at one point, students launched a petition that amassed over 30,000 signature s demanding she be banned from campus. It is unclear whether Trevizo is still enrolled at NMSU. Trevizo’s long-awaited trial has experienced a number of delays as prosecutors continue to fight for the right to use the footage and confessions in court.
