A New Mexico teen who gave birth and threw her newborn baby into a dumpster has had her conviction appeal denied. Alexis Avila was convicted of attempted first-degree murder and child abuse involving great bodily harm. On appeal, her attorneys argued that jury instructions on mental health were confusing and claimed ineffective assistance of counsel for not pursuing an insanity defense. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber breaks down the disturbing case, the arguments on appeal, and why the court upheld Avila's conviction.
