The baby may be taken by family or placed as a ward of the court. Sutohara cannot keep it. Sutohara is serving an indeterminate term for disposing of mortgaged property. Cotton faces years for slaying a fellow inmate and extra time for escaping. Sutohara’s husband, paroled, faces forgery charges in Arizona.
