If it was just the unborn child that was murdered, I have to wonder if this guy would have gotten the death penalty. However, he has murdered two people, so even if the fetus conviction is taken to the SC, he can still face execution for killing the mother.

Louisiana has a feticide law which carries a lesser sentence than a homicide so even if a baby is killed when the mother is in labor and on her way to the hospital, the murderer gets very little jail time. Bastards.
