Constance Marten, the aristocrat tried for the death of her baby, defended on Wednesday her decision to sleep in a tent with her daughter in the middle of winter. The 36-year-old accused, heiress to a family historically close to the royal family, claimed that this was the only way to prevent her baby from being taken away.

Baby's body was found on March 1 in a supermarket bag left inside a shed. The autopsy could not determine the exact cause of the baby's death, but the possibility that Constance had fallen asleep on her was raised during the trial.
