This title really caught my eye, Baby's killing 'a waste of two lives'. There was a picture of a young girl named Nicole Beecroft, and so I read this article. It is obvious that the story is about a girl named Nicole Beecroft who killed a baby or something like that just from the title and picture. When I read the first sentence of the article, my mouth dropped. I was amazed to hear that this girl had planned the death of her newborn baby daughter. She stabbed the poor thing more than one hundred times and not just that, but then threw the baby's body into a trash can outside of her house!!!!!! Nicole Beecroft deffinately had issues, panicked, did not know what to do, and was clearly not ready to have a baby. The judge found Beecroft guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced her to life in prison.
"I'm really sad," County Attorney Doug Johnson said outside the courtoom afterward. "It's a waste of two lives." One life is thrown away in jail, and the other is dead. Judge Johnson said he thinks it's the first trial he's seen in the twenty-two years he's worked for Washington County. This is an awful, horrible, tummy sickening story and I could not believe this teenage girl would do such a thing. How in the world could you ever have the guts to so that. One great lesson i learned from this story was to never panic and always handle things in a mature manner to get the best outcomes of situations.
