Oregon Woman Sentenced To Life In Prison
WEST VIRGINIA....
Korena Roberts of Beaverton, Oregon has been sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to fatally beating 21 year old Heather Sniveley, originally from St. Albans, in June 2009. Investigators say Roberts killed Snivley, who was seven months pregnant, cut the baby from her womb and then left Snivley's body in a crawl space of her home in Beaverton. Roberts claimed she had just delivered the baby, but, when it was rushed to the hospital and could not be revived, officials discovered the baby was not Roberts'. Her attorney asked for the murder, kidnapping and robbery charges against her to be dropped, but the judge denied that request.
