FL man on trial for the murder of his unborn child

     A tragic event happened in May in Tampa, Florida.  According to CNN, 26 year-old Remee Lee told her boyfriend, John Andrew Welden, that she was pregnant.  Lee was reportedly overjoyed about becoming a mom.  

     On Monday, Lee's former boyfriend pleaded guilty to killing their unborn child in May of this year. Welden gave her the drug Cytotec, an abortion pill. Lee took it, thinking it was her antibiotic. 

     Welden was given a plea deal that could send him to prison for 13 years. His lawyer, Todd Foster, said "The possibility of mandatory life sentence, no discretion to the judge, obviously is a big factor." Welden is set to be sentenced on December 5.
