Ffrench was seen by persons on December 10, 2018 as she lurked at the hospital. It has been proven that she had been at the hospital for about a month watching and waiting for an opportunity to steal a baby.

However, there are persons in the community where she lives, who are saying she is a good person and they are pleading with the court to have mercy on her.

They believe the death of her mother caused her to be depressed and her actions were as a result of the stress she was under after she had miscarriages and lost 2 babies as well.

The couple who went through the trauma, after their baby went missing, has been seeking compensation from the South East Regional Health Authority. They believe the staff was negligent.

The couple is represented by attorney-at-law Peter Champanie, who is awaiting the verdict to guide his actions when he is doing all he can to provide professional representation for the couple.

Miss Ffrench could be spending seven years or more in prison if the Judge takes Section 69 of the offences against the persons act, is taken into consideration.
