Connie Spence's Account of Linda Carty's Scheme to Steal Joanna Rodriguez's Baby

Connie Spence says that Linda Carty was so desperate to stop Jose leaving her because she couldn't have a baby that she schemed to steal Joanna Rodriguez's baby, even though it hadn't been born yet. And I do find that a weird part of this case that they were career criminals, but the prosecution was so gung-ho on going after Linda Carty. Why offer plea bargains for these gangbangers who had worked career criminals, as we said, to put this woman away? What made her so important that they needed to put her on death row? That's a part of this cases that I find really bizarre.
