When Stephanie Greene’s six-month-old baby died suddenly in 2010, doctors determined it was due to an overdose of morphine!
But how did her daughter have so much morphine in her system?
Prosecutors just convinced a South Carolina judge that it was because of Stephanie’s tainted breast milk!
She’ll now serve 20 years behind bars for knowingly abusing prescription painkillers while breastfeeding and while she was pregnant, something she concealed from her doctors so that she could keep getting drugs!
Wow.
The former nurse lost her license in 2004 after trying to score drugs illegally. Her lawyer told the court that Stephanie was only trying to stop the pain she suffered after a car accident over a decade ago. But that’s NO excuse for doing something that you KNOW is dangerous for your little daughter!
The 20-year sentence is a minimum for anyone found guilty of homicide by child abuse in South Carolina.
Greene’s husband did not speak to reporters after the verdict but according to Stephanie’s legal team, he supported his wife throughout her trial and now prepares to raise their seven-year-old son alone.
What a tragedy!
So is this verdict fair? YOU decide, Perezcious readers!
