A Colorado woman won’t face murder charges for cutting a fetus from a pregnant woman’s belly. The 7-month-old fetus died shortly after it was violently delivered.
Police say Michelle Wilkins, 26, (pictured right) responded to a Craigslist ad for baby clothes that was placed by Dynel Lane, 34.
The two women met at a Boulder, CO. home, where Lane overpowered Wilkins in the basement and used a knife to cut the fetus out of her.
Despite the loss of blood, Wilkins was able to call 911 and calmly give the 911 dispatcher a description of Lane and her vehicle.
Lane was arrested at Longmont United Hospital where she and her boyfriend took the dead baby. Lane told doctors she had a miscarriage. The ER staff became suspicious and called police after Lane refused to allow herself to be examined. Family members told police Lane faked her pregnancy for months. Her teenage daughter said her mother did not look pregnant.
Wilkins, a lesbian who planned the baby with her partner, was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday. She is resting comfortably at home.
Her family released a statement praising her.
“We cannot predict what lies ahead for Michelle,” the Wilkins family said in a statement released Wednesday. “What we can say is that we have all been deeply moved by the many people who have reached out to Michelle and her partner to share their own personal stories of tragedies they’ve endured and how they managed to first just survive and then eventually start to heal. That alone has given us the strength to get up and face each day.”

Why not?!
I need to know why this crazy bish won’t be charged?
How she not going to be charged with murder
If the baby died after it was delivered then she should be charged. It took a breath. These YT people stay getting away with chit. Why is her sexual preference important?
I want to know why no murder charge
These YT people stay getting away with chit

Her name is Dynel and her hair appears to have some texture… I’m not convinced she all white
this may not be a #crimingwhilewhite #criminingwhilemulatto 
WTF…If she was black I bet money she would be getting the death penalty
I don’t understand this man 
Wait wtf, you perform your own delivery on not your body and you wont be charged
@kaycei
exactly what you said…cuz she’s batshyt crazy. but on the flip side, whyyyyyy with all the lifetime movies about this kinda shyt and REAL LIFE stories on snapped, dateline, id channel, etc. would she buy something as personal as BABY CLOTHES on fukkin cregg’s list and go to a residence to finalize the purchase????? damn man, come the fukk on…don’t set yourself up for shyt to happen to you!
Those two look alike
The baby would have otherwise LIVED had she NOT CUT her out, ending her LIFE! THIS IS MURDER!!!
I agree @ iWaste – YT people stay getting away with shyt! I bet if the mother and her partner, family, pressure the DA, they will upgrade the charge. But I think their state law has some technicality regarding the “time” of the breathing…something like that I read when this happened.
“The issue of whether or not murder charges are appropriate involving a case involving the death of a fetus or late-term pregnancy is always a difficult issue,” he said last week. “Under Colorado law, there’s no way murder charges can be brought if it is not established that the fetus lived as a child outside the body of the mother for some period of time. I don’t know the answer yet as to whether that could be established – what our facts are here. One of the issues that we will need to evaluate in connection with that is the medical information from the autopsy.”
From CNN:
Colorado state law does not recognize a fetus as a person, unless it is capable of surviving for a period of time outside the womb, a prosecutor said then.
But the extent of the period that the fetus must survive in order to be defined as a baby is not legally clear.
Why is she not being charged with murder?????
So what are the official charges that they will be charging her with?????
I’m not sure what this woman’s sexuality has to do with with price of tea in China. When you wrote about TI’s restaurant, you didn’t mention that he’s heterosexual
would she buy something as personal as BABY CLOTHES on fukkin cregg’s list and go to a residence to finalize the purchase?????
=============
Why victim blaming?? People buy recycled baby clothes all the time… as well as furniture, appliances, cars etc etc…
The victim did nothing out of the ordinary, she is in no way at fault for what a psycho did to her…
And the perpetrator is BLACK (well mixed race of some sort)….
I don’t think you can even get a legal abortion at 7 months… where is the gay mafia at? Do they only fight for men trying to be women?
Very sad story.
unless it is capable of surviving for a period of time outside the womb, a

A baby born at 7 months gestation could survive outside the womb
a 7 month old fetus is viable…my daughter was born at 25.5 weeks gestation and lived!
obviously Colorado law sucks…marijuana is legal but this woman can’t be charged with murder for this heinous act?????
@str8
They are charging her with early termination of a fetus… what ever the hell that means. They must make it up as they go along.
I bought a rocking chair for LilDiva off Craigs..and we went to their home to pick it up. I don’t know if I would do it today wit all the murders off Craigs now-adays….

You can but your MD has to get an approval from some health board and show that there is no other option and the fetus will cause death to the mother if it was to survive

You can, in Arizona
well if victim blaming is wondering why someone wouldn’t think of the “what ifs” of going to a stranger’s house to pick up baby clothes ALONE rather than arrange a meeting at the police station or other public place, then so be it. there have been a ton of stories in the news recently (national and local) about the dangers of cregg’s list and similar sites…folks getting robbed, shot, murdered, etc.
@missyj, if I may, blaming the victim because she was responsible for another life (the fetus) and it’s a sad, sick, twisted story, but it could have been avoided if the victim had taken simple precautions. It’s like not walking down a dark alley at nighttime if you don’t want harm to come to you. Not trying to start no shyt this morning, just offering my humble opinion.

Good morning. At 7 months a newborn’s lungs does not have enough surfactant, a fatty substance that is necessary to inflate the lungs. Some preemies require critical neonatal care just to breathe. This care might include intubation and respiratory support on a ventilator. The reason the woman won’t be charged with murder is that it was proven that the fetus did not live long after birth — as evidenced by the fact that it died of respiratory distress.

@RoseGarten,
Morning and Happy Friday!
@Topic,
If the fetus took a breath outside the womb or it was alive until its tragic end, why can’t she be charged with murder? I mean, why is this even an issue? Peepa who sposed to be fighting FOR THE VICTIM(S) complicate the simplest of stuff in the criminal justice system.
And like Missy said…..that chile ain’t alla way spryte if that at all. Do you see her hair? I ain’t nevah seen a spryte peepa hair stick straight out like that. Wondah if she have some colored in her?
At any rate, she was outta control…….what kibd of writing was on the wall regarding her mental health?
Oh. @Butter, I did get your answer regarding the sock/bun yesterday.
And these two DO look alike. It almost looks like a before and after (hair and makeup) photo. Strange coincidence.
@Pearl
I don’t think those two are comparable precautions. Purchasing second hand goods from a private seller is not generally considered dangerous and routinely done and legitimate business practice
Walking down a dark alley alone is WIDELY cautioned against
Lurking in this meeting and this is the post I come into
There are some unstable creatures out there. God bless the dead 
HAPPY CSIGENDER DAY
If the baby had not been removed from the womb, would the child have died from respiratory distress? IF yes, then she is not responsible. If no, then she is a murderer.
If the fetus took a breath outside the womb or it was alive until its tragic end, why can’t she be charged with murder?

They can prove whether or not the lungs took in air during an autopsy. I think the lungs will float or something, I remember it from some real crime show.. If they haven’t charged her with murder, maybe that didn’t happen.

@Missy, buying off of craigs list is widely cautioned against as well. Here in GA, lots of police stations are setting up safe transaction zones specifically for people using craigs list because so many people have fallen prey to these types of set-ups. An elderly couple just got murdered trying to purchase a car that didn’t exist. Purely a set-up to rob them by a drug addict. So, it’s out there and it would have been wise to take someone with her.

The legal issue is whether the fetus could survive on its own outside the womb without medical assistance — not whether it took a breath. In most cases a 7-month-old fetus will require some type of medical care to live longer than an hour.
What the problem is again? Im so confused.
Not all of us attack you Sandra… Most of us appreciate what you do.!!
GOOD MORNING ROSES!!!!!
A local police department in the DFW area has designated one if their police station parking lots an exchange area where people can complete craigslist transactions,,,, to try and help people avoid being set up since they insist on doing husiness in craigs list
Thanks @ SouthernBeauty.
Nothing to see here, B.Stone. A couple of readers asked Auntie why she felt it necessary to point out the victim’s sexual identity.
She politely told those couple of people fugg folks 2015. Auntie, can we get an emote of this?

Why aren’t there attempted murder charges for actually cutting the baby out the mother. The mother could have bleed to death. The courts just gonna let her walk. Shyt I might need to move to Colorado so I can murder me a muthaphucker.
Not sure if the world is getting more dangerous or our access to media 24/7 is bringing more attention to what used to be local stories.
This chick will be charged with SOMETHING. She can’t be charged with murder under the laws of CO, but best believe she won’t be walking around free.

@B
I’m not saying this in a sarcastic way, but glad it worked out differently for you than it did for this lady. like pearl said in her comment, there have been a lot of incidents involving cregg’s list lately and precautionary measures could have been taken but were not.
when they started snatching up female joggers off the trails and local streets, I stopped running on the streets by myself and started jogging in the gym or at the park during peak hours where there are tons of other folks jogging/walking/etc. to lessen the chances of something like that happening to me. not saying someone couldn’t have tried to snatch me up at the park but at least my screams would have been more likely to be heard, someone see it happening, etc. notice, I didn’t stop jogging altogether just changed it up a bit. I still see women jogging by themselves on side streets with very little traffic flow by themselves with headphones on and I’m baffled by it.
shyt can always go left but sometimes taking a few simple precautionary measures can make a huge difference.
