Remocaldo called on Lake County State's Attorney Michael Waller to drop all charges against Cryns. Waller told The News Sun the prosecution of Cryns will not be dropped.
Midwives can be a pretty positive thing if used in the right circumstances.
Cryns previously sued the state and Remocaldo said her case is expected to set a statewide precedent governing certified professional midwives in Illinois. Consumer advocates familiar with the state's ongoing campaign against midwives have questioned whether the charges against Cryns might be related to her lawsuit. Other aspects of the case against Cryns have raised questions, Remocaldo pointed out. You've got the coroner saying the baby died before birth and then the state charging Ms. Cryns with manslaughter of a live, born child. Basically, you've got all kinds of holes in the prosecution's case.
