Disgusting!

I must admit, this line truly confuses me.

Tayshea gave birth to her son, Treyson, July 15, 2001, but the boy perished within two days

This baby was born alive. He breathed air into his lungs for two days.

the Hawaii Penal Code defines a person as someone "who has been born and is alive".

But because she harmed him before he became a person, even though he was person when he died, she isn't guilty? This is so illogical. I am flummoxed.

Did the mother breast feed the child anytime after it was delivered alive? If so, she knew her own body was tainted with illegal drugs that would harm the living person just delivered. I think the prosecutor was asleep at the switch.
