Florida Student Charged with Manslaughter After Newborn Found Dead in Dorm

Brianna Moore, 19, faces multiple charges following the discovery of her newborn's body in a University of Tampa trash can.

Brianna Moore, a former University of Tampa student, was arrested in Mississippi and will be extradited to Florida for trial.
The charges against Moore include aggravated manslaughter of a child, child neglect with great bodily harm, failure to report death, and unlawful storage of human remains.
Moore's roommates reported hearing a baby crying and found blood in their shared bathroom, leading to the discovery of the newborn's body the next day.
An autopsy revealed the infant died from asphyxiation and had multiple broken ribs, with the manner of death ruled as homicide.
Florida's Safe Haven law allows parents to surrender newborns anonymously, a fact emphasized by prosecutors who described the death as preventable.
