A screen grab from video footage which shows Diana Sanchez before and during giving birth alone in a jail cell.
“She absolutely let them know that she was going to give birth and needed to go to the hospital, but they ignored her,” Mari Newman, Sanchez’s attorney, says of the July 2018 incident. Sanchez is a non-violent offender who received two years of probation for charges related to identity theft because she cashed a check made out to her sister, Newman says. She was back in jail because she failed to satisfy the conditions of her probation.
