“Stephen and Amanda
both admitted there was
no prenatal care, and
they didn’t go to any
doctor’s appointments
after Data was born.”

Amanda Hancock, 21, of Glendale. Williams and Hancock were
arrested Tuesday at their home in Glendale on charges of mur-
der by abuse after their seven-week-old baby boy, Data Hancock,
