Amy Grossberg, flanked by lead attorney Robert K. Tanenbaum (L) and her mother Sonye, arrive at the courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware on April 22. Grossberg pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of her newborn son, who died shortly after being born in a motel room near her college campus in 1996. The plea, which was widely anticipated, allowed the 19-year-old Bergen County woman to avoid a possible life sentence. Behind Grossberg (centre) is her attorney John Malik. blj/Photo by Barbara L.
