She may be a sociopath, but I don’t think being pregnant is proof. Prison sucks and ten years is a long time: id probably try to gain sympathy points as well.

- kevin_thibedeau 3y agoShe had baby #2 as a strategic move to curry sympathy from the jury because "They don't put pretty people like me in jail".

- bandyaboot 3y agoWould you adopt children to gain sympathy points to avoid jail?
- edgyquant 3y agoMaybe not, but I come from the lower class where jail is just a normal thing that happens to people and everyone has friends who’ve been. If I were a woman from a fairly well off family I think having a baby for sympathy wouldn’t be that big of a stretch. I’ve seen people do strange things to try and get sympathy from a jury. Not adopt a child crazy, but being pregnant really doesn’t seem that odd to me and indeed seems like a common thing women facing extended prison time would do.
