“Gun Death” Serial Killer

I’d call this a serial killing, wouldn’t you?

An Illinois woman believed to be the mother of two infants found dead in the trunk of a car has admitted to leaving another baby girl to freeze to death along a rural road nearly five years earlier.

After reaching an agreement with prosecutors, Katie Stockton of Illinois pleaded guilty Thursday to first-degree murder in the December 2004 death of the infant known as Baby Crystal, who authorities believe was Stockton’s daughter.

And son-of-a-bitch, there’s the Bad Justice tag!

Stockton faces up to 60 years in prison when she’s sentenced April 5.

Sorry but you’ve murdered THREE of your babies for who-knows-why. There’s not excuse for this! Also it shows how well laws can work. I’m a HUGE fan of “Safe Haven” laws, and Illinois, like many states has one.

Don’t want you baby? Well that’s good enough for most states as there are lots of people who are DESPERATE for healthy babies who can’t have one of their own. They don’t care why you don’t want your baby or even WHO YOU ARE! If you take the time to drop off a baby at a designated safe place (Hospital, Police Station, or Fire Station) they will take and care for your baby, and if you don’t have second thoughts inside of the designated timeline they will put the baby up for adoption in a vetted and loving home.

That’s pretty easy, but like all states that have these wonderful laws, it isn’t enough to keep babies from being murdered or abandoned in unsafe or fatal ways. And while 60 years might be more than enough for a life sentence, I’m still a little miffed that “Life” isn’t in the mix for this level of brutality.

Sad story, but hey if we pass a meaningless gun control bill maybe something good will come of it!
