Summary:

"A Nebraska woman who advertised herself as a midwife specializing in home births — but who prosecutors said did not have the proper certification — is facing a homicide charge after the troubled delivery of a newborn resulted in the baby’s death...."

[The article says nothing about the birth-mother's consent to use an unlicensed midwife, informed or uninformed, except that she hired her.]
