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.
>>>No. The boy, any boy, would not get a light sentence.
The boy, any boy, would not have just suffered childbirth and the physical and physiological trauma (and the shock her body was in) that certainly accompanied it in spades for that single first time teen mother.
Your heartless comment should cause you to do some real therapy or confession. Geez. Grow a heart.<<<
My give a damn meter for mothers who kill their babies is hovering at zero. Abortion, ditto. The most dangerous place for the unborn is in the womb of an unmarried woman. That’s just reality.
And trauma qualifies for a reduced sentence for murder? Funny how women call it the miracle of birth when the baby is wanted. I’m just too heartless to understand all the nuance between when something is good or bad for women.
The common law has always provided for sentencing modification based on mitigating circumstances and age.
Along probably another 6.5 billion or more of the world’s population. They all suffer from the same demonic blunt force trauma.
I pray for them almost daily.
“would not have just suffered childbirth and the physical and physiological trauma”
When a man suffers trauma and kills someone they call it road rage, or going postal or some other thing and they lock him a way for a long time. “I was having a really bad day so I killed someone” is NOT an excuse no better what your gender. Your lackadaisical attitude toward premeditate murder is revolting. You know who had just been through something traumatic. The BABY. She went through an incredibly traumatic experience called ‘getting born’ and her mother promptly murdered her.
I have a one month old and not a shred of sympathy.

So what's the REAL problem here?
But He is looking for her.
And me; too.
Well...
...Lizzy Borden threw herself at the mercy of the court because she was an orphan.
This WILL change; once they get equal pay for equal...

Are you still killing your unborn? -- GOD |
Hey!
1/4 of perfectly normal humans are KILLED in the womb.
If you were born after '73; you've dodged a mighty big bullet already!
I really don’t get it with all these comments about eyes. If you didn’t already know the story I don’t think you could look at that picture and find anything in her eyes to call “sociopathic”. I think you just have an active imagination.
I hope she meets Jesus. Quickly.
LOL, did the Menendez brothers try that one as well?

Get back to me when you’ve worked at a forensics hospital with murderers, Pedophiles, cannibals, and the like.
So when the myth is corrected, the reality will be corrected.... :)
