The death surrounding abortion, death of the baby, but more and more often we hear, of death of women refusing to abort, or in this case the death of someone else. When we do not respect life, all life looses value. was she angry he had someone else..was the new girlfriend pregnant and keeping her baby? The fact that she reported her abortion as a factor tells me that it had much to do with this…and they say there is no such things as post abortion stress…very sad
Accused murderer reported abortion
Woman charged in death of ex-lover's fiancée
she had an abortion about a year before graduate student Denita Smith
was found shot to death, investigators testified Monday.
A
judge did not decide by The Durham News' deadline whether comments
accused murderer Shannon Elizabeth Crawley made about her relationship
with Jermeir Stroud could be presented at trial.
Defense attorney
Scott Holmes asked Superior Court Judge Ronald Stephens Monday to
suppress the statements, arguing that police had continued to question
his client after she had asked for an attorney.
Crawley is
charged in the Jan. 4, 2007, death of Smith, 25, an N.C. Central
University student whose body was found at the bottom of a staircase at
Campus Crossings Apartments. She had been shot in the head.
Crawley,
a mother of two and a former 911 dispatcher for the city of Greensboro,
told police Jan. 5, 2007, that she had intimate relationship with
Stroud starting at the end of 2004, Durham investigators Shawn Pate and
Delois West testified Monday.
Crawley and Stroud, who worked as a
Greensboro police officer, broke up in January 2006 after Crawley had
an abortion, West testified.
Holmes argued that during police
questioning his client was on the phone with relatives advising her to
leave if she wasn't under arrest.
Crawley told relatives that
police said she couldn't leave until their supervisor had cleared it,
according to the testimony of her brother-in-law Christopher Williams,
of New Jersey, and her sister Erin Crawley, of Greensboro.
Investigators
testified that Shannon Crawley didn't specifically ask for an attorney.
Assistant District Attorney David Saacks argued that the fact that
Crawley was allowed to leave is proof that investigators were not
holding her against her will.
A witness reported seeing a woman
matching Crawley's description and a burgundy Ford Explorer at the
apartments Jan. 4. While investigators spoke with Crawley in
Greensboro, other officers took pictures of her Explorer and worked to
confirm it was the same one seen at Smith's apartments, Pate testified.
