The Wellsville Daily Reporter recently wrote an update on the Elizabeth Catlin case and the mass media attention it is drawing to the case. The Catlin case has drawn attention from regional and national media, including the New York Times because of its impact on local maternity care at a time when there is already a shortage of professionals, and especially midwives who will support women delivering babies in homes.
“It’s pretty remarkable to have this kind of support,” said Catlin’s Upstate New York criminal defense attorney, David R. Morabito of East Rochester, scanning the crowd that gathered around him and Catlin. He explained that Feb. 12 there will be room in the small village courtroom for her supporters. “The judge wants everyone to be able to be in the courtroom,” Morabito said. Typically, during Monday night court dates, Village Judge Matthew Conlon presides over several cases and the gallery seats quickly fill up.
