CORBIN, KY. --
A 22-year Kentucky man was convicted Thursday in a scheme to sell a baby to a Michigan woman for $5,000. Kenneth Couch is expected to face a two-year prison sentence after a one-day trial that ended with a jury finding him guilty, said Whitley County Commonwealth Attorney Allen Trimble. He and his girlfriend, Jessica Cornett, 18, were arrested last year after selling her 10-month-old daughter to Kimberly Brick, 30, of Chase in Lake County. Brick was sentenced to probation. Cornett, who was sentenced to two years in prison, testified Thursday that Couch came up with the idea, Trimble said.
ED: He got probabtion and she got two years - ? And now they're at it again!
AND...what about the people who BUY the babies? Are they not comitting a crime as well? Or are we supposed to just feel sorry that they didn't get what they bargained for - they got jipped...
