Santos Asucena Caseres Cruz, who is accused of two felony counts in connection with the deceased newborn baby that was found in a field on March 4, was scheduled to be arraigned in Jefferson County Circuit Court on June 15. However, her attorney, Jeffrey De La Rosa, raised a question as to whether Caseres Cruz is competent to stand trial. Judge William Hue ordered a competency exam. A status conference is scheduled for July 27. Caseres Cruz remains in custody.
