A former college student whose newborn baby was found dead in a trash bin was sentenced today to the 30 days she already spent in jail and was ordered to take monthly pregnancy tests for five years. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Kathleen Kennedy told Ashcraft that her behavior was “absolutely unforgivable” and she did not want a “similar situation” to occur. Under a plea agreement, Ashcraft was sentenced to 30 days in jail and 730 days of electronic monitoring that she already served. The judge also gave her five years of probation and ordered Ashcraft to undergo counseling. In addition, the judge ordered that every month during her probation, Ashcraft must bring “an unopened, unused pregnancy test” to the probation department for testing and if she becomes pregnant she must seek prenatal care. read more
