A Utah woman accused of killing six of her newborn babies and storing their bodies in her garage appears set to take a plea deal Thursday.

Prosecutors and attorneys for Megan Huntsman have reached a resolution and requested a special setting for a hearing Thursday morning in Provo, Utah, online court records show.

She faces up to life in prison.

Let's hope this judge does the right thing here. I'm so tired of the usual minimal sentencing in this country.

As Megan Huntsman explained her story to police, detectives asked her why she had let her three oldest children live.

Her first two children were born before she and her husband started using meth, according to Beckstrom.
She was on drugs, however, when she became pregnant with her third living daughter.

"(She) was not murdered because the pregnancy was known" to other people, Beckstrom said.

After that, he said, Huntsman was careful to never disclose her pregnancies. :thud:

...She agreed to plead guilty rather than go to trial under an agreement that reduced her minimum possible sentence to five years but left fewer options for appeal. Prosecutors said it would have been hard to prove the case against her at trial if she hadn't cooperated with police.

McDade departed from that deal Monday, giving Huntsman a longer minimum sentence. "I really thought I'd seen it all until this case came along," he said.

A parole board will make the final decision on how much time Huntsman spends in prison....

From what I heard in the video posted above, the LEAST amount of time she could serve is 30 years. If, by some miracle, she were to be paroled on the first go-round, she would be 70 years old. I'm not sure what to think of this.

Why not just give them up for adoption? She had choices. Should never walk free again, IMO.
