Dr. Lekgobo Chimidza, 50, examined baby Zaraiyah Mitchell in January, noting she had a few bruises and a bite mark.

Four months later, the 6-month-old baby was dead, and the Good Samaritan pediatrics doctor was charged with failing to report suspicions of abuse to the state, as required by law. She had been scalded, bitten and choked and had bruises and cuts all over her body, Lebanon County District Attorney Dave Arnold said.
