WOW! Thanx for the heads up! I'll definitely be checking it out tonight.
well, given that I don't have access to the evidence and court documents, my take:
it sounds like she has a proven history of reproductive irresponsibility, crap parenting performance, and now infanticide.
tubal ligation sounds appropriate, as does a prison term for infanticide.
whence the charge of racial motivation in the sentencing?
Hi...Michael,
Will be Praying for You and also Watching You on O'Reilly's show later.
PS: Don't let O'Reilly get away with anything.
Good luck, break a leg - make us proud!
It seems to me that she should want to be sterilized, at no cost. So, assuming she has any working brain cells, she might not be just "agreeing", she may be begging for it.
there's nothing like a little shameless self promotion - just kidding - good luck
Tread very carefully on this ground, my FRiend. I'll be watching and you will be great. (This is one way to get me to watch BO.)
Good Luck, Sir. Snip
An Atlanta mother who pleaded guilty to killing her newborn child has agreed to a medical sterilization procedure to avoid prison.
The plea deal Tuesday halted the murder trial of Carisa Ashe, 34, who has seven other children, after she consented to undergo a tubal ligation, in which the fallopian tubes are cut and tied to prevent pregnancy.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard, whose office suggested the plea deal, said he agreed to reduce the murder charge to voluntary manslaughter because Ashe suffered from postpartum depression when she shook to death her 5-week-old daughter, Destiny, on Dec. 16, 1998.
The premature infant had been hospitalized for weeks and was killed two days after going home to her mother. Ashe told police the child simply stopped breathing.
Ashe, who has no prior criminal history or complaints of abuse, could have been sentenced to 20 years in prison on pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter — defined as a killing committed with a sudden, violent irresistible passion after the assailant has been provoked.
Instead, Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes ordered Ashe to serve five years on probation and to have the tubal ligation within three months. If she doesn't comply, prosecutors can try her on the initial murder charge.
The judge questioned Ashe to make sure she was voluntarily agreeing to the procedure.
Mother chooses sterilization over murder trial.

It would appear that she was given a choice.
it is a reversible procedure is it's not that bad. She agreed to it. I don't agree with sterilization period but oh well.
Don't let that pompous windbag browbeat you. keep up the grate woik! Rots of Ruck!
See you on the tube tonight Mike
Knock em dead
Yeah. By an idiot DA that's full of used food.
O'Reilly got worked up about the fact that it appears that no one gives a snit about this.
It'll be on at the bottom of the hour - just after Jeremy Reynalds.
Oooh thanks for the reminder... I just got home and am waiting for the large cappucino to take effect :o)
I wonder why people don't care more. That may or may not be a good sign.
Part of the problem here, at least, is that this idiot DA has screwed up so many cases that it ain't news any more. I tried to make that as part of my point.
The other thing they wanted to get into was black justice versus white justice. I insisted that the point was not racial, but class-based.
I agree with you. You have to know they love to make it into a black vs.white thing. I notice this on UPN news a lot.
