It is assumed by the jury and the townspeople in general, therefore, that the baby merely died naturally of its weakened condition shortly after birth, and so Katie is declared innocent of all wrongdoing. Her child had been born extremely sickly due to Katie's lifetime practice of drinking unpasteurized milk. She was wearing nice non-amish clothes while visiting her brother. Eventually it is revealed that Katie had conceived the child by a young male academic student whom she had befriended while attending college to visit her excommunicatedīrother. Katie protests her innocence on both charges, and Ellie Harrison ( Mariska Hargitay), a tough and well-respected attorney, is brought in to defend her in court. When a newborn baby is found dead, police suspect foul play, and Katie is accused of having given birth to the child, then taking its life due to her shame about the baby's illegitimacy. Katie ( Alison Pill) is an 18-year-old girl who lives in a small Amish community in the Pennsylvania farm country.
