Twenty-nine-year-old Taylor Rene Parker entered the home of her friend and stabbed her more than 100 times.
A woman in Texas who killed a pregnant woman and ripped out her unborn baby was sentenced to death on Wednesday, the New York Post said in a report. Twenty-nine-year-old Taylor Rene Parker was found guilty of the murder and convicted on October 3. She stabbed Reagan Simmons Hancock, 21, in October 2020 in an attempt to steal her unborn baby. The baby girl had died after the brutal attack. The jail sentence was handed down by a six-member jury in Bowie County.
Texarkana Gazette, a local publication, said that it took the jury one hour and 15 minutes to reach their verdict.
"You have been found guilty of capital murder and punished by Texas law to death. I formally sentence you to death," Judge John Tidwell told Parker after receiving the jury's verdict.
In an impact statement just before the jurors started deliberating, Ms Hancock's sister told Parker what she has taken from her.
