Baby-killing college student gets chance at parole in resentencing for throwing newborn daughter in trash

Emile Weaver, 27, now has a chance to someday get out of prison after the results of her resentencing last Thursday for murdering her newborn daughter, Addison Grace Weaver.

Formerly set to serve life without parole, she is now eligible for parole once she spends 20 years behind bars.

The Muskingum County Prosecutor’s Office in Ohio met the news bitterly, highlighting prosecutor statements that the defendant lacked remorse and acted intentionally.

“We live in a community where people are held accountable for their actions, whether good or bad,” they wrote. “Our office has spent more than eight years fighting for justice for Addison. While we accept the court’s decision, we believe the reduction of the defendant’s sentence has robbed Addison of the justice she deserved.”
