The day that Tashfeen Malik and Syed Rizwan Farook left their home to kill 14 people in San Bernardino, they left their six-month-old daughter with Farook’s mother.
By the time the day ended, Malik and Farook were dead. The baby became an orphan.
Now the child is at the center of a court case that will determine who will raise her.
