Pa. woman gets life for cutting baby from womb

| From ap.org

A Pittsburgh-area woman will spend life in prison for killing a pregnant teen she lured to her apartment, drugging her and cutting the child from the womb before trying to pass off the baby as her own.

Forty-year-old Andrea Curry-Demus was sentenced Monday. An Allegheny County judge found the Wilkinsburg woman guilty but mentally ill of second-degree murder in March. That carries the mandatory life sentence imposed formally on Monday. The judge also tacked on 20 years for kidnapping.

At her sentencing, Curry-Demus briefly turned around and apologized to the family of 18-year-old Kia Johnson, of McKeesport.

Curry-Demus had been telling her family she was pregnant and killed Johnson and took her baby in July 2008 in an effort to continue the ruse.
