    On Oct. 3, 2024, he was convicted of second-degree murder. He will spend the rest of his life in prison without the option of parole, as Louisiana law requires. But her parents still lost a child. Her children still lost their mother. There is no real justice in this story.

    Maybe I should read the room here, but her children also lost a father. Maybe there should have been a way for him to get a psychological intervention before this.

    Men attacking women carrying or just after giving birth to their child is so against nature. It’s an abomination, born of a fundamental sickness of the soul.

      The article mentions of those under 25. So it seems their focus is based on the statistics of young women under 25.
