A woman who tried to steal a fetus by knocking her pregnant neighbour unconscious with a baseball bat and cutting her abdomen was sentenced yesterday to 22 to 50 years in prison.
Peggy Jo Conner, who could have been sentenced to up to 80 years, apologized in court for attacking Valerie Oskin.
Oskin, 31, was rescued after a passerby spotted the two women in a rural area and called police. Her baby was delivered by emergency caesarean section and put up for adoption, which had been Oskin's intention before the attack.
"I'm sorry for what happened to Valerie and for what part I had in it," Conner said. "I'm not that kind of person. I was on drugs then."
But Armstrong County District Attorney Scott Andreassi said blood tests after the Oct. 13, 2005, attack showed no intoxicants in Conner's system. She is now being treated for bipolar disorder and manic depression.
Oskin tearfully read a statement in court in which she said she now suffers from nightmares and anxiety because of the attack. She said her eight-year-old son, who witnessed part of the attack, is afraid to be alone.
"Her crime will affect us forever," Oskin said.

now that's just...sad...
But I guess some women get crazy when their biological "clock" is ticking...
In this case, however, her clock turned out to be a time bomb!
Great post!
Take care,
Nick
