Stolly also argued that Elizabeth Siders had been pregnant for most of her life since getting married at 15 and had never received proper postpartum care, leaving her “suffering from mental health issues”. Stolly said he had “competency concerns”.

“We have an individual … who was married at age 15, who has essentially been pregnant for the better part of two decades … [Siders] has never fully gone through any postpartum period and has not been receiving regular medical care that would be appropriate for someone who has had 16, 18 children,” he told the court.

“We are not saying that there’s any conduct at this point that has been proven, certainly, by the state to be illegal, but if her mindset was not there, and she didn’t have the ability or the capacity to understand it and make decisions in an informed way, that could certainly negate legal liability,” Stolly said.

There is also speculation that Siders is currently pregnant again, after she appeared in court without handcuffs.
