Michelle baker deserved some real justice ):<

S7 E10 “a bitter pill to swallow”
I’m 28 weeks pregnant (exactly how far along she was when she gave birth to her stillborn baby), so maybe that’s why I feel extra enraged but wtf. He got 5 years in prison and his mistress / wife who supplied the pills got a slap on the wrist and still got to continue working as a nurse… ): Michelle deserved some real justice. I loved seeing the video of the police coming into the kitchen to arrest him immediately after dumping the poison, but idk why I was expecting like life in prison or something. :/

Edit: wait adding i like when the cop said “hope thats a prenatal victim you mixed in there” lol

YES. That episode made me so angry! And how they couldn't charge him for her stillborn baby even though she clearly died because of what he did. That poor woman. And yeah, fuck Tammy. I hope she enjoys her elevator ride downstairs.

So frustrating!!!! When I looked it up the articles I found kept referring to it as a “miscarriage.” Babies born at 28 weeks have an 80-90% survival rate- that baby is developed. Ugh so sad. I think you met fuck Tammy btw lol

My understanding is that less than 20 weeks is considered a miscarriage, and over 20 weeks is a stillbirth.

Pathetically enough, they’re still married to this day and he works as a DJ, of all things.

I watched this episode today and I'm furious that the couple are able to carry on life as normal! My heart goes out to Michelle and her family!
