A Texas nurse who admitted to killing a 28-year-old mother and stealing her infant son from a parking lot in broad daylight appeared before a judge today asking to be released on bond.
Verna McClain, 30, was shaky and soft-spoken as she appeared in court this morning on charges of capital murder for the brazen daylight shooting of Kayla Golden, a mother of three, that occurred Tuesday afternoon.
McClain told cops that she killed Golden and kidnapped Golden’s 3-day-old son, Keegan Schuchardt, because she had recently miscarried and was going to try and pass the baby off as her own to her fiance. Police said that despite the baby being white and McClain and her fiance both being black, McClain intended to lie and say the baby was her own.
“There were statements that were made by Ms. McClain that led us to believe this was an intentional act on her part, not that Ms. Golden was targeted specifically, but that this was part of a plan to kidnap a child,” Brett Ligon, the Montgomery County district attorney, said Wednesday.
McClain’s state-appointed attorneys said today that their client was “shaken and very upset” and on suicide watch in jail, where she is being held without the option of bond. Attorneys said they would ask for McClain to be released on bond because she has three children and would not pose a threat to the community.

On what grounds? She has a little baby to take care of?
I wonder how she was going to explain the fact that the baby she took is white?
Obviously did not think things through very well.
...still waiting to learn who her male accomplice was?
Just dreadful. In the context of of “just ordinary life” this is one of the most horrific crimes in recent memory.
I wonder if shes a democrat?...
Where is the liberal media to pour fuel on the fire?
Where is the mulatto president to claim that that baby could be his baby? Well...not exactly like that...but you get the picture.
Funny how silent things are, isn't it?
Other than that murdering random mothers of three year olds thing anyway. Beyond that she's no threat, your Honor.
Let her kill herself...please.....
Release on bond? LIKE HELL!
There are cases where I think eugenicists have it right. This is one.
One would think a defendant charged with capital murder wouldn’t qualify for bail but googling around I found that apparently isn’t the case...
Not to her community, anyway.
This is sick. Death penalty isn’t good enough. Kill her exactly as she did the mom. Makes bile come up in me.
Attorneys advocating more murders.
Not only did she shoot the poor women multiple times, but she also ran her down with the car afterwards. That seems to be missing in most of the occupation media stories.
In a sane world, the details would be all over the place.
Wrong colors in the wrong side.
Media doesn’t consider that to be a story.
If the judge grants bail, can we riot?
Another feral bites the dust.
