Lisa Montgomery, 39, of Melvern, Kan., is accused of strangling Bobbie Jo Stinnett, 23, on Dec. 16, 2004 and using a kitchen knife to cut the baby from her womb. The baby, Victoria Jo Stinnett, survived and is now almost 3 years old. The trial resumes Friday. The news doesn't really state why she says she wouldve done something like this. Montgomery claims that her reason for doing this is because she has a mental ill ness and that she was abused as a child.
My Comment:
I feel that yes this lady is crazy but not in a mental illness type of way. It's a coincidence that she claims insanity when she does the crime but not before. I kind of wandered what was her reason for killing this lady. Was it because she was jealous of her new child because she couldn't have any; but i figured it couldn't be that because Montgomery had already had four children. Was it because she was jealous of her lifestyle or just because she wanted another baby that she couldnt have. Montgomery was said to have known Stinnett personally before this terrible encounter. This story is sad and crazy at the same time. It really makes you think what would posess someone to kill a woman just to cut out her baby. INSANE!!

Since there aren't many posts to choose from, like I figured there would be since the due date was yesterday, I guess I'll choose this one to write about. Besides, I'm not a big baseball fan.
When I first heard this story I was in High School and I remember how disturbed I was by what I had seen on the news. How this woman could stab another and cut an unborn from her, is beyond me. People like this are seriously messed up mentally. I just wonder what could have possibly been going on through her head when she decided to do this.
I also remember being in High School and hearing on the radio about a lady who had cut off the arms and legs of her baby and left it to die. She called in to the police to tell them what she had done, and the recording of the call was played over the radio so many times. Her voice sounded almost demonic and she had described how she had took a knife and just cut each of her baby's appendages. It made me sick.
I feel so bad for people like this. To be in such a mental state that you do such things. It's horrible. I just really hope that they got the correct punishment and treatment they deserved.
