KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) — A jury in Kennewick is now deliberating in the aggravated murder trial of a woman accused of killing a pregnant woman and cutting the baby from her womb.
Lawyers made their closing arguments Monday in the trial of the 25-year-old Kennewick woman, Phiengchai Sisouvanh Synhavong (PEE’-en-chay SIS’-oo-vahn SIN’-ha-vahng).
She is pleading innocent by reason of insanity. If convicted she would be sentenced to life in prison without parole.
The Tri-City Herald reports the baby survived the June 2008 attack at a Kennewick park and lives with its father.
