"A St. Joseph County woman has filed an appeal of her neglect and feticide conviction. Purvi Patel was sentenced late last month to 20 years in prison for causing her newborn's death and not getting help for the baby, before she leaving him in a dumpster. Prosecutors argued that Patel took drugs from China to end the pregnancy. Patel's attorney said there was no proof she took any drug."
