played out on tabloid TV and social
media around the world.
Today, his mother, Elizabeth
Johnson, 26, goes on trial in Mar-

charged with kidnapping and custo-

could serve up to 24 years. A charge
of child abuse has been dismissed.
Even though the child is pre-
sumed dead — the boy’s father
recorded a telephone call in which
Johnson said she suffocated the
8-month-old, put him in a diaper
bag and dumped him into a trash
can — Johnson has not been
charged with murder. She later told
police that she gave the child to a
couple at a San Antonio park.
