Chicago: Woman Tossed Baby From 8th Floor; State Drops Murder Charges
Crime in Wrigleyville + Boystown ^ | July 10, 2017 | Anonymous

Posted on 07/12/2017 6:31:48 AM PDT by PBRCat

woman accused of throwing her newborn baby from an 8th-floor apartment window in Uptown has been sentenced to four years probation.

Mubashra Uddin had been charged with four counts of murder for allegedly killing the baby girl moments after giving birth in her family's apartment.

But prosecutors last week agreed to drop three of those charges and then reduced the fourth murder count to involuntary manslaughter of a family member. Judge Carol M. Howard handed down a sentence of probation.

Uddin was 19 when she gave birth around 11:20 p.m. on November 11, 2015, in a bedroom of an apartment she shared with her parents and sister. Police said they recovered scissors that Uddin used to cut the umbilical cord after giving birth in the same bed where her 11-year-old sister was sleeping.

Fearing that her strict parents were about to discover the pregnancy that she had kept secret from them, Uddin dropped the newborn headfirst out of her 8th-floor bedroom window in the 800 block of West Eastwood.

The girl was discovered about 30 minutes later lying in some grass by a passer-by. One hour later, she succumbed to her injuries, which included skull fractures, a broken spine, multiple broken bones, and internal injuries, prosecutors said.

Friends rallied around Uddin from the moment of her arrest, blaming her actions on the young woman’s upbringing in a strict Muslim family.

At Uddin’s bail hearing, her boyfriend’s mother told DNAInfo “No one is mad or upset [at Uddin] because we all know the household that she's coming from."

"With all her family has put her through, I'm surprised she didn't jump out of the window herself,” the mother said to the Tribune.

What is the legal status of this woman? If she is an American citizen by birth or naturalization, she ought to have been tried for murder. Islamic cultural defenses matter not.

If the entire family is not American, I hope that ICE reviews the question of deporting the entire group.

Aren’t moozlums a bundle of fun? So the baby died??? At least the moozlums are allowed to have their dignity and honor.

Bunch of islamaphobes.

A phobia is an unwarranted or unreasonable fear. It is neither unreasonable nor unwarranted to fear a system that demands that you be subjugated, enslaved or killed if you decline to adopt it and requires you to be killed if you leave it. So there is no such thing as Islamophobia.

Is this an example of sharia law? So it is hunky dory for a muslim mother to throw her newborn baby out the window to keep honor in the family? Cultures self destruct based on such perverted beliefs.

No mention of who the father might be. Any chance “he” is a member of her own family?

Muslims can murder and get off with a slap on the wrist. If this was really about the parents, they’ would have done an honor killing on her and her trial for killing the baby would have disappeared. IOW, it was all hogwash.

How about dropping her out the window and if she lives drop all charges. That’s about as ridiculous as the sentence she got.

scary there’s not more of an uproar. Many believe if you kill the newborn that’s the same as abortion

yes, sounds to me prosecutors unofficially decided to apply Sharia law in this case.

Well, hell! it was only a few hours different from honorable and commendable abortion. Of course she should not have been charged with any crime at all. She should have been recognized with an award by Planned Parenthood.

O.M.G. The baby only had minutes to live after birth to this Muzzlime moron. They should throw the “mother” Muzzlime out the same window on her head, followed by the prosecutor and anyone else who waves their hand over this heinous crime. Was it more of a crime that she MURDERED the baby or that she was running around with men unmarried? And the baby paid the price. Horrible.

Cook County Illinois State’s Attorney Kim Foxx is to blame here. This was the local prosecutor.

The Illinois Attorney General is the statewide law officer and did not handle this case.

Thank you.

Next, may I recommend you look up the word "sarcasm"? If that doesn't exist, I no longer have reason to live.

The “because, woman” card needs to be rejected.

This is murder. If the husband did this, you know he would not get 4 years probation.

Good lord courts are literally leting women get away with murder.

And ignoramuses here are upset men are opting out of marrying these women.
