A "Dateline NBC" episode, scheduled to air Friday, confirms what has long been rumored: Ryan Widmer became a father while awaiting his third trial on a murder charge.

In a video clip promoting the show, Dateline shows images of Widmer, his baby and the child's mother, who tells Dateline: "There's no way that he could have done this - ever."

Names of the baby and the woman are not disclosed in the promotion, but the clip says the baby was born "in the summer after trial No. 2," which means the child would now be less than a year old.

The show WILL AIR THIS Friday, May 6th 9pm-11pm EST.
