US woman jailed for 50 years for cutting baby from victim’s womb
A Chicago woman accused of luring a pregnant teenager to her home and cutting her baby from her womb with a butcher’s knife has pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to 50 years in prison.
Clarisa Figueroa, 51, seated in a wheelchair and wearing a bright yellow jumpsuit, did not provide a statement but answered “Yes” when Cook County Judge Peggy Chiampas asked her if she understood she would need to serve the entire sentence and would not receive early release on parole, news outlets reported.
