Woman who killed baby ordered sterilized
Published on: 02/09/05 A Fulton County judge has ordered sterilization for a woman who killed her 5-week-old daughter.
Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes said Carisa Ashe, 34, has 90 days to have the tubal ligation that would prevent her from conceiving.
Ashe had been charged with murder in the Dec. 16, 1998, death of Destiny Ashe. An autopsy indicated Destiny had been shaken and hit so badly her brain swelled and hemorrhaged.
After two days of trial on the murder charge, Ashe pleaded guilty Tuesday to voluntary manslaughter, according to the district attorney's office.
Barnes gave Ashe five years on probation and said she must have a tubal ligation within 90 days or prosecutors can reinstate the murder charge.
Is the ACLU involved yet?

A woman who pleaded guilty to killing her five-week-old daughter must have her tubes tied as part of a plea deal, the Fulton County District Attorney announced Wednesday.
Two days into her trial for the December 1998 death of the baby, 34-year-old Carisa Ashe agreed to plead guilty to a reduced charge of voluntary manslaughter. Under the terms of the plea, Ashe will have to serve five years on probation and undergo tubal ligation within 90 days. If she does not have the procedure, the murder charges could be revised, D.A. Paul Howard said.
Shaking and blunt-force trauma to the head resulted in Destiny Ashe's injuries, including swelling and hemorrhage of the brain, according to an autopsy report.
"she must have a tubal ligation"
I'm sure the ACLU won't let this happen-women have rights; babies don't. (sarc)
5 years of probation for murder?? How about this - lock her up for the rest of her life, or at least the rest of her reproductive years. Problem solved.
She named the child Destiny, and then she killed her. Geez.
I guess that was her "destiny", to be killed by her uncaring psycho mother
Do the litigation just above the shoulders. This one is polluting the air We breathe.
Litigation? you mean sue her?.......
"but it is about time women who abuse/abandon/mistreat their children are ordered to undergo sterilization. "
I say the same thing should go for deadbeat dads - off with their nads!!
I'm with you. This one deserves a tracheal litigation.
But, the bleeding hearts in south Fulton won't ever let this happen. Watch tomorrow's AJC for the hue & cry from the left.
It's hardly Constitutional to order someone sterilized. If she's a murderer, execute her. Don't set Hitlerian precedents.
I disagree. Judges cannot order people sterilized. Forced sterilization and abortion happen in China, but should never happen here. The woman deserves the death penalty for murder in my opinion, but I hate to see the government deciding who can and cannot have children.
Hear hear.... Where was the father?
Just kill the b---- and be done with it! All of this baby killing and abuse needs to stoop. There seem to be more and more of these horrible stories every day.
We need a LOT more of this, and not just for killing children, but for abuse and severe neglect as well.
