Baby Killer Must Have Tubes Tied

http://www.11alive.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=58728

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)

[sassbox]

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.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Do the litigation just above the shoulders. This one is polluting the air We breathe.

[tfecw]

wow, can a judge do that? I'm a fan of it, but dang we've got California banning the US Pledge, and Atlanta ordering tube tying.

[joedelta]

Well, I missed this one in the good ole Al Jeezera Constipation.

But, the bleeding hearts in south Fulton won't ever let this happen. Watch tomorrow's AJC for the hue & cry from the left.

We need a LOT more of this, and not just for killing children, but for abuse and severe neglect as well.

It is about time that someone dealt with this problem with a solution that might just help! Child-murderers should NOT have another chance to kill a baby! The ACLU can just stuff it!

I am mixed on this. Is there a reversable procedure?

If reversible how is this different than putting rapists on drugs to prevent penetration? Or putting people on house arrest with monitoring? Is that unconstitutional too?

[Lorianne]

I disagree with this ruling. It is sexist.

I haven't heard of men who kill their children being sterilized.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Sterilized means "killed slowly", right?

[freepatriot32]

thats a good first step.But as my best friend found out a few years ago you can still get pregnant even after a tubal ligation.They have a tendancy to reverse themselves especially if you are athletic or get it done at an hmo the only way to totally avoid pregnancy is removing the womb through a hysterectomy wich is what his woman needs to have done to her right before she is strapped down to the gerny and lethally injected.

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.

The judge should be ordered to have a cranial ligation.

[shaggy eel]

,,, what use is death row? This woman needs to be on it to experience equal rights, as applied to other murderers. What a lame sentence that judge gave out.

[nmh]

Good!

She earned sterilization.

[curiosity]

Eugenics here we come. Margaret Sangre would be very proud.

This sentence is appalling. A person kills someone, the judge looks closer finds it is a woman, and that she killed her daughter, so...oh! This isn't a killer! This is a child killer. We'll just end her potential production of possible victims. That's justice!

I should note. Lets say the killer is a man, a father. Tell me what judge would give an equal sentence for an equal crime? I don't believe it has ever happened. On the other hand this is not the first time a woman has been let off admitting she killed her children. It is remarkable. Everyone wants equality, everyone wants justice, but then somehow bs like this is tolerated. It is remarkable.
