Mass. woman convicted of killing pregnant friend and cutting baby out of her womb

A 39-year-old Massachusetts woman was convicted on Wednesday of killing her pregnant friend, cutting her unborn child out of her womb, and attempting to pass the child off as her own.

The Associated Press reported that jurors deliberated for 10 hours before finding Julie Corey guilty of the murder of 23-year-old Darlene Haynes on July 23, 2009. Haynes was eight months pregnant at the time.

Corey did not testify during the trial. She will be sentenced on Tuesday. New England Cable News reported that Corey could be sentenced to life in prison.

“It’s probably the most horrific case this office has ever seen in terms of facts,” District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. was quoted as saying. “This woman was killed for her baby.”

I guess they had to link actual forensic evidence to this person.

But how incredibly deranged this woman must be; wanting a baby so killed a pregnant woman for it.

I'm against kiling and against capital punishment, but now we taxpayers have to feed and clothe and house and provide medical care for this person until the day she dies.

I just sometimes wonder why we think we can scrimp on mental health care services around the state and let someone like this walk the streets untili she kills a woman to "harvest" a baby.

Sick!
