Hey, everyone, I'm Ashley Banfield, and this is Drop Dead Serious.

If you have been following the story of Lakin Snelling, that young University of Kentucky

cheerleader who is in a world of hurt after her roommates discovered a dead baby, wrapped up in her closet we've got a lot

to update you on tonight if you have never heard of this case i have a previous episode um in

the episode description and that should get you all caught up but uh layken was just in court again

and let me tell you she looked nothing like she did the first time she appeared before the judge.

This time, she wisely decided to lose the red cocktail dress and the heavy makeup and instead

opt for a more conservative look, almost as though she is in mourning, all dressed in black.

The court appearance itself was actually super, super quick, and I'll explain why in just a moment.

And I'll also explain the significance of what she and her attorneys are doing in this legal game of chess.

But first, some new court documents

recently released, wow, do they ever tell a story? And I'm not sure that it's good for Lakin.

There's a new bombshell revelation that the baby boy died after he was born, which presents a legal problem for Lakin's defense attorneys.

But also, there are accounts of Lakin hitting a drive-thru at the McDonald's right after giving

birth instead of heading to the police station to let them know that there was a dead baby

in her closet.

And to be honest, I don't know if it was a drive-thru or the mobile order, but it was McDonald's. I can see two sides of this story.

I can see someone who just gave birth and they're starving because I was both times.

And she's alone in a house where you're not about to go down and start cooking.

But it's not going to, you know, sound good to a jury if it goes to a jury that she's off, you know,

getting McDonald's after giving birth and the baby's in the closet.

So this is the very latest in the Lake and Snelling case.
