Court orders woman who left newborn in trash to be resentenced

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A woman who was imprisoned without parole for killing her daughter by throwing the infant in the trash after giving birth at her college sorority house should be resentenced, a divided Ohio Supreme Court has ruled.

Weaver could have been sentenced to life with a chance for parole in as little as 20 years, which was requested by her attorney, butWeaver sought post-conviction relief in 2017, arguing her lawyer didn’t present a complete explanation of neonaticide and she could have received a lesser sentence. Neonaticide is the murder of an infant within 24 hours of birth.

Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor noted in the majority opinion that Fleegle demonstrated an arbitrary and unreasonable attitude toward evidence of both neonaticide as well as “Prosecutors have said Weaver gave birth in a bathroom at the Delta Gamma Theta sorority at, then purposefully caused the death of her baby. They said the baby girl died from asphyxiation after Weaver put her in a plastic trash bag and left her outside the sorority house.

Thank god Fetterman will push to decriminalize this.

Murder is Murder no matter how old the victim is that's killed. She should be in prison for a long time.. That child had no chance to grow up & be loved..
