OMAHA, Neb. - Antonia Lopez, a Nebraska teen who admitted to throwing her newborn baby out the window, won't be serving any jail time, the Omaha World-Herald reports.
On Friday, Douglas County Juvenile Court Judge Christopher Kelly ordered Lopez to be placed on probation, live in a group home, take part in individual and family therapy, delete her Facebook account and perform 50 hours of community service, according to the World-Herald.
In September, Lopez, 16, reportedly gave birth to a baby girl in her apartment, then threw the baby out the window. She then texted her boyfriend, “It was a girl by the way,” and admitted her crime to her mother, the World-Herald reported. She told police that she was unaware that she was pregnant and thought she was just having her period.
An autopsy revealed that the infant, who later died, was still breathing at the time the blunt-force injuries were sustained. It also showed that Lopez had been pregnant for 25 to 28 weeks.
“She’s coping the best she can,” Lopez’s defense attorney Rebecca McClung said, adding that her client thought the child was a stillborn. “The mother is coping the best she can. The grandmother is coping the best she can.”
Lopez was initially charged as an adult with felony child abuse resulting in death, which could have meant 20 years in prison. However, in February, her case was transferred to juvenile court after her mental state and lack of criminal record were considered, the World-Herald reported.
She reportedly was ordered to live in a group home because judges were concerned that she didn’t understand the severity of her actions. The Facebook deletion order stemmed from her receiving numerous negative comments on her page following her arrest, the World-Herald reported.
She looks to be only half teen
Her sad face look doesn’t match her sociopathic eyes.
I hope she finds Jesus. Sincerely.
Some times, just some times, don’t you get to feeling like some judges could do with a heavy dose of blunt force trauma?
Antonia Lopez, Murderer.
Your move, slut.
This is another example of the gynocracy our country has turned into. Does anyone think for a moment a same age boyfriend ....even if the mom agreed to the crime, would receive a light punishment like this if he had threw the baby out the window?
Oh, it was nothing to be concerned about. Doesn’t Roe v Wade guarantee a woman to do anything she wants to her baby, er I mean body?
She’s coping ,her mom is coping, everybody is coping. She needs a bullet to the head, ### bitch.
I don't think she is looking for him.
Obama wouldn’t want her “to be punished with a baby”.
No of course not. Equal protection my ass.
The only thing more evil than this act is the judge who gave this thing probation.
By all means, coddle her. After all, her child just died...
Aw, poor baby. We wouldn't want her to see all those negative comments, would we? Might make her feel bad about herself.
Antonia is a victim of demonic blunt force trauma.
This girl can be saved, but it will take a powerful witness willing to seek her and others like her out.
This is the battle front.
Who but a lib would see a mother who murdered her own baby as a victim who deserves pity because “she just lost a child”?
“It was a girl by the way”. Doesn’t that prove malice aforethought? That is FIRST DEGREE MURDER.
She is not a victim, although her attorney is probably advising her to play that role.
She had to have been severely damaged before this happened, to even consider such an action.
She wasn’t drunk or high or manic. Just didn’t care about ‘it’.
