I personally think she possibly had a seizure and did something she'd literally never do in her right mind. I think when whatever motherly instinct in her brain realized her baby was hurt, that's when she rationalized it must've been the heater. I think the adrenaline of her baby being in trouble is why she was coherent enough to the EMS and her mom, even though her mom said she was talking a bit weird like her tongue was hurt. Given that it wasn't, i think the "weirdness" as her still being in that after seizure state, but the adrenaline anchoring her enough to communicate with minimal issue, like her body wasn't 100% calibrated. I think the prosecutors are putting more emphasis on her interview in which she had no representation, no medical help, and just lost her baby and frankly those interviews are usually the ones where false confessions happen! There's this one awful awful case where a man was SHOT IN THE HEAD and didn't get medical attention for HOURS and was dragged into an interrogation room assumed to be the one who killed his gf. He was innocent, he was another victim, and the delay of medical attention due to them not seeing literal BULLET HOLES in his FACE led to a worsening medical condition that led to his eventual death. There was even a man who was coerced to confess to the murder of his dad by being told they'd kill his dog, and his dad wasn't dead! He wasn't even fucking dead! Generally, for me, interrogations have to be taken with a certain amount of salt depending on the detectives. It's the evidence outside of those interrogations that I believe more, and the prosecutions case outside of the interrogation is "there's too many button presses in the microwave"
In terms of her sentence, for me this is like if a man had a heart attack at the wheel of his car and it became erratic and he killed someone. I'd look to a case like that, and see what sentence he got for accidental homicide, and use that as a benchmark. Because it's a similar thing. A person with a medical emergency has an unfortunate but very rare accident out of their control, but people did die.
Oh wow! I remember that case of the guy and his girlfriend who got shot by an ex-roommate and his dad. That case was crazy. The entire interrogation video and just how long it took for detectives to notice the holes on his face - absolutely ludicrous. For this case, in terms of her medical state I find it easier to follow along, but in terms of the potential legal actions that could take place - I'm at a loss. Although I do believe it to be a freak accidental death, I still think she might get sentenced. For how long? I don't know. Either way, imprisoned or not, I hope Kai Yang and her family could heal from this and that she gets the proper medical help that she needs. 🙏
@NyxRyoko like I mentioned, I'd use the heart attack while driving as a benchmark. There's some states that legally mandate that manslaughter due to medical emergencies are 100% NOT the fault of the person having the emergency, and they get 0 punishment. There are some states where you serve a few months or a few years for the loss of life, and some states where you pay a fine and even some with community service as the punishment. It's a state by state thing, but generally, due to the medical emergency, the fault isn't found with the driver NEARLY as much as say, a drunk driver. I believe the longest sentence I've personally seen for such an accident was 5 years in jail (not prison), with community service, and i think that was a case of he knew he shouldn't be driving cause of his medical stuff and drove anyway. But he also only got 5 years even though he decimated a family in the accident, kids my brother knew. The kid that survived was completely changed by the head trauma situation. This, while horrible for other reasons, caused less financial damage and hurt less people, and NO ONE will feel as horrible about it as she does to be frank there is not a word I could utter that she hasn't already probably thought about herself. I hope like you said, they're able to heal from this.
I just had a thought. What if she was still holding the baby after her seizure (since she said she usually isn't afraid of dropping a baby) and when she was in the hazy period she thought that she was holding a big baked potato so she went to the microwave, place the potato (baby) in the microwave and pressed the baked potato button twice (maybe accidentally instead of once), which led to the baby dying.

There are many possibilities of what she pictured in her hazy phase, that could definitely be a possibility. That would be depressing.
