Woman killed for her unborn baby

Sun_Sparkz · 12-19-2004, 06:52 PM

I was driving to work this morning and heard on the radio a woman was killed in the U.S and her unborn baby was removed from her womb?

Apparently the lady who stole the baby then parades the infant as her own!

its like a horror movie. That poor family, i wonder if they will get their baby back. Imagine when the baby is an adult, or adolescent, and finding out what happened to her mother. I just can't even begin to comprehend the weird sorrow that wil ensue from this sick news.

Even more bizarre is how often this happens.

Funny how Skidmore gets back in the news.

This is the biggest news story around these parts right now. Godawful psychotic murdering bitch hooks up with pregnant woman via an Internet dog breeder's ad, goes to her home on the pretense of purchasing a puppy, comes up behind mother and strangles her, then cuts the 8 month old fetus from dead mother's womb and returns to her home town, claiming the baby as her own. She even told her husband that she had the baby unexpectedly the day before while she was alone in Topeka.

Some people become so horribly broken, that there is no way they can ever be fixed. I think this one falls into that category.

Really?
This is the first i've ever heard of anything like this. I heard that officials are even considering the death penalty!! how could they NOT give her the death penalty?

I think, just maybe, that she's insane, and can't tell right from wrong. She should be institutionalized, not put to death.

I also don't think we should blame someone for being mentally ill however I think the problem lies where every person that want to avoid the death penalty uses this strategy. It is also not a black and white issue (mental illness). One Dr. may say you are mentally ill while the other may say you are not. With a physical illness such as dysentary it is black and white both Dr.s will agree and treat the same way.

This crime is sickening. Unthinkable. Horrific. Who would think to do such a thing?

Yes, the violently insane are a danger to society. Lock them up in a mental hospital. Treat them. If they recover fully, let them out. What good does putting them to death do?

they murdered someone. i'm not really supportive of the idea to let them out once they aren't as nuts as they once were. we're not talking about someone who crapped on the sidewalk, but someone who cut a fetus from her mother because she was destraught over losing her own. *buzz* thanks for playing but you are free to leave the earth now.

is she mentally ill. probably. i think she'd damn near have to be to pull this one off. but that is irrelevant. someone lost a wife and a mother, because she wasn't feeling right in the head - fry her.

can you really imagine putting her into a treatment program and in 3 or 4 years she wakes up and says "wow, i feel a lot better now. i don't think i'll cut any more babies out. can i go home now?"

Yes, the father did get the baby back--they caught the lady just a day or two after the murder/kidnapping.

The lady who committed the crime is nuts. Apparently she had a miscarriage awhile back, and couldn't deal with that. When she killed the woman and cut the fetus out, she called her husband at work and said something to the effect of, "Guess what, honey? I was out shopping, and all of a sudden I went into labor and had a baby after all!"

I doubt that defense will fly in court--she took too many steps to conceal what she did for her to claim she didn't know it was wrong.

glatt · 12-20-2004, 08:06 AM

I doubt it will fly in court either. But that's more a comment of the politics of the times than a comment on her mental condition.

lookout123 · 12-20-2004, 11:08 AM

how does being out of one's gourd make this any less heinous? insane or not, she should be put to death. the insanity defense to avoid the death penalty is such BS. if a conviction for a crime would result in the death penalty for someone who didn't use the insanity defense, why should a nutjob get off any easier? the crime is the same, why shouldn't the penalty be the same?
