CAMBRIDGE, Md. (AP) -- Cambridge police say a 44-year-old woman gave birth in a portable toilet at a park, then dropped the newborn girl into the waste holding tank.

Charging documents state that a witness at Long Wharf Park called 911 Monday morning after Candy Vigneri asked for a cigarette, then said she had just had a baby and the baby was in the toilet.

When police arrived, they found Vigneri holding the baby covered in blue chemical similar to the liquid inside the tank.

Police say the newborn was left in the waste tank for about three minutes. Vigneri and the baby were taken to the Memorial Hospital at Easton for treatment.

Vigneri was released Wednesday and charged with first- and second-degree child abuse and reckless endangerment. The infant was listed in stable condition on Wednesday.

Jury says deliberations heated in mayor's trial
November 20, 2009 17:21 EST

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Jurors in the theft trial of Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon were dismissed for the weekend after sending a note to the judge saying deliberations were getting heated.

Jurors deliberated until about 3:45 p.m. Friday before sending the note saying "things are getting a little overheated" and asking to be dismissed. The jury received the case about midday Thursday.

Prosecutors say Dixon used gift cards intended for the needy on personal shopping sprees. The defense says the mayor's then-boyfriend anonymously gave Dixon gift cards for her own use, and she thought gift cards from another developer came from her boyfriend. She's also accused of taking cards from a holiday charity event run by the city.
