With a woman in prison for a stillbirth, California’s murder law is tested [Los Angeles Times :: BC-CALIF-STILLBORN-MURDER-CHARGE:LA]
Adora Perez was two years into an 11-year prison sentence when she got a phone call.
From inside the women’s state prison in Chowchilla, California, Perez listened as attorney Mary McNamara introduced herself, saying she had been looking into Perez’s case and found it deeply flawed.
Perez was charged with murder after she delivered a stillborn baby at a hospital in California’s Central Valley, with authorities alleging methamphetamine use while pregnant was responsible. Faced with the possibility of life in prison, Perez accepted a plea deal, lost an appeal and busied herself adjusting to the rhythms of time behind bars.
