One charge dropped, another stands instillborn case

The Ocean City mother accused of killing her newborn babies told investigators she gave birth to twins on a toilet in 2004 and let one of them drown, according to charging documents released late Thursday.

Prosecutors dropped charges against Christy Freeman, 37, in connection with a stillborn baby she delivered last week, instead charging her with the homicide of an infant child born to her in 2004. During that delivery, she told detectives she let the first infant fall into the water and did not remove it until it was dead, according to the documents.
