A jury in the US state of Texas has sentenced a woman to death who killed a pregnant friend of hers Baby cut out of the body and thereby killed mother and child. The jury in Bowie County made its decision on Wednesday (local time) after around an hour of deliberations, as the newspaper “Texarkana Gazette” reported. In October, a jury found 29-year-old Taylor Parker guilty of brutally killing 21-year-old Reagan Hancock in order to take her unborn baby and pass it off as her own.
The victim’s body was found on October 9, 2020 at his home in New Boston, a small town about 160 miles northeast of Dallas. A three-year-old daughter was also in the home when her mother was killed, according to court records.
She faked ultrasound appointments
That same day, according to the indictment, Parker was pulled over by a police officer for speeding and her erratic driving. At the time, she told the official that she had just given birth to a child. The baby was taken to a hospital in Oklahoma, where he was pronounced dead. Prosecutors accused the 29-year-old of having played the pregnant woman in order to bind her boyfriend. She even faked ultrasound appointments and celebrated a so-called gender reveal party, a celebration held in America at which expectant parents reveal the gender of their unborn child to their guests.
Prosecutor Kelley Crisp showed the jury a photo from the crime scene in her closing argument, showing the blood-soaked victim on the floor of the house. Parker should be sentenced to death because she’s a danger, Crisp argued. The pregnant woman was not only ripped her baby out of the womb. The victim suffered hundreds of stabs in the body and blows.
Parker’s attorney, Jeff Harrelson, objected that words could be used to dehumanize others. People’s lives are complex and have “shades of gray,” he said, looking at his client, and: “She’s a person.”
