A doctor who killed his own unborn baby by grinding up abortion pills and putting them in his girlfriend’s tea has been sentenced to three years for fetal homicide.
Yup. Just three.
But then again, unborn babies are legally killed every single day.
According to Daily Mail:
A doctor who spiked his then-girlfriend’s drink with four abortion pills has been sentenced to three years in jail.
Brook Fiske, 37, was almost four months pregnant when she was poisoned by Sikander Imran, 32, last year. She was began suffering contractions and was rushed to hospital where she lost her unborn baby son.
I can’t even imagine.
Imran was arrested and earlier this year, pleaded guilty to fetal homicide in Arlington County, Virginia.
On Friday, he received a three-year jail term, and 17-year suspended sentence. He also had his medical license revoked and faces deportation to Pakistan after his release.
Honestly… deporting him is the LEAST they could do.
Despite everything he’d put her through, Fiske asked the judge to grant some leniency to Imran at his sentencing, WJLA reports.
To me, the length of time that he serves in prison isn’t what’s important,’ Fiske said after the hearing. ‘I think that it is really important that people know that if they are dealing with depression before they do something, they should reach out and get help.’
I’m sorry… what?
HE KILLED YOUR BABY.
I suppose she’s a more forgiving person than I am…
I’d want him in prison for life. I don’t give a CRAP if he was “depressed.”
Imran’s lawyers had argued he was suffering from panic attacks at the time of the fetal homicide, and had threatened murder.
‘What matters is that people hear this story and realize that either they need help themselves and they’re going to reach out and get it before something awful happens, or they realize that whatever weight, whatever tragedy, whatever pain they’re carrying, there is a way through it,’ Fiske said.
The nurse says she is focused on putting the tragedy behind her and finding a way to move forward.
I suppose forgiveness IS a way to move on. So good for her.
I still hate him.
Meanwhile Imran told the judge Friday he loved Fiske ‘more than anyone in the world’. He added that he prays for their deceased child everyday.
Oh, PLEASE.
Fiske and Imran had been dating on and off for about three years when he moved from Rochester, New York to Arlington, Virginia for a new job in June 2016.
Shortly after the move, Fiske says she discovered she was pregnant, but when she told Imran the happy news he was less than pleased she told WROC.
‘He didn’t want to have a baby so he tried to talk me into having an abortion… which I didn’t want to do,’ Fiske said.
When she was about 17 weeks along, Fiske traveled down to Arlington to meet with Imran so they could discuss how they wanted to raise the child.
One night during the visit, she says he poisoned her tea.
‘When I was drinking my tea in the evening I got to the bottom of the cup. There was a gritty substance in there and when I looked at it, I could tell that it was a pill that had been ground up,’ she said.
A few hours later, Fiske says she started feeling contractions and was rushed to the hospital.
‘He [Imran] immediately started crying and said that he was a horrible person and that he had done what I thought he did,’ she said.
After going into labor at Virginia Hospital Center, she lost their baby boy.
So, SO messed up.
