A Missouri woman has accepted a plea deal with prosecutors that will see her behind bars for 13 years after she placed her one-month-old baby into an oven, claiming that she thought it was her crib. The infant died as a result, suffering severe burns. [snip] The incident took place on February 9, 2024, with officers responding to a call at around 1:30 pm reporting that a baby was not breathing. When police arrived, they found the one-month-old child with burns across her body. She was pronounced dead at the scene by Kansas City Fire Department personnel. Investigators had been told that when Thomas went to put her daughter down for a nap, she “accidentally placed her in the oven instead of the crib.” A family member told detectives that Thomas had said, “I thought I put [her] in her crib and I accidentally put her in the oven.” [snip] In announcing the charges back in 2024, then-Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said, “We acknowledge the gruesome nature of this tragedy, and our hearts are weighted by the loss of this precious life. We trust the criminal justice system to respond appropriately to these awful circumstances.” (*) Full article: https://thepostmillennial.com/missouri-mom-sentenced-to-just-13-years-in-prison-for-roasting-her-baby-to-death-in-an-oven-claimed-she-thought-it-was-the-crib Post navigation Kamala claims: Taking unqualified people off voter rolls really is ‘cheating’
