Sorority Sister Who Killed Newborn Sentenced to Life in Prison Without Parole
A former college student was sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing her newborn baby daughter inside her sorority house and disposing her in a trash bag.
Emile Weaver, 21, was found guilty of aggravated murder, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence by a jury in May.
According to the Associated Press, Weaver gave birth in a bathroom at the Delta Gamma Theta sorority, of which she was a member, at Muskingum University on April 22, 2015. Weaver then put her infant in a trash bag and left her outside, causing her to die of asphyxiation. The body was found in the trash by other sorority members.
Prosecutors claimed Weaver was aware she was pregnant and never intended to keep the baby. During her pregnancy, Weaver drank alcohol, smoked marijuana and played sports, the International Business Times reports.
Weaver told the court she was in denial about the pregnancy and believed the baby girl was dead when she put her in the bag.
