ZANESVILLE, Ohio » A former college student accused of giving birth in a sorority house bathroom and killing her baby girl by disposing of her in a trash bag was found guilty of murder today.
A jury issued a quick verdict finding 21-year-old Emile Weaver guilty of aggravated murder, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence.
Prosecutors argued that Weaver purposefully caused the death of her newborn daughter after giving birth in a bathroom at the Delta Gamma Theta sorority at Muskingum University on April 22, 2015. They said the baby girl died from asphyxiation after Weaver put her in a plastic trash bag and left it outside the sorority house.
Weaver testified today that she had been in denial about the pregnancy and thought the baby was already dead when she discarded the trash bag.
She pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, but a judge ruled that she was mentally competent.
Hours after disposing of the baby, Weaver texted the man she thought was the father and said “no more baby” and the situation had been “taken care of.” She told him she had gone into labor the night before but the baby died of complications.
Weaver will face life in prison when she’s sentenced later.
Such selfish disregard for human life. Send this animal to prison for life.
Planned Parenthood logic: This womyn was just exercising her “right to choose”. She just chose on the late-ish side.
Well, at least you’re not blaming it on her race.
Why did you have to inject race into this discussion? What a nutcase you are.
Such selfish disregard for human life. Sounds like the Japanese who only believe in honor only me like the Emperor or else bad things will happen to you.
At least your first sentence makes sense. Good thing allie wrote it for you.
LOL… I wholeheartedly agree !!!
