Stacy Michelle Rabon Wiki - Stacy Michelle Rabon Biography

In South Carolina, a 50-year-old woman could spend the rest of her life in prison for the brutal murder of her newborn daughter more than 30 years ago. She stabbed and suffocated the child more than 50 times before stuffing the body into a plastic Sears shopping bag and tossing it in a river.According to authorities who spoke with Law&Crime, Circuit Court Judge Bill McKinnon ordered Stacy Michelle Rabon to serve a maximum term of life in prison for the 1992 killing of the newborn baby members of the group known as "Angel Hope."

In relation to the murder of her daughter, a jury in York County earlier this month convicted Rabon guilty of one count of homicide by child abuse. On the murder accusation, the jury was deadlocked. Rabon will be eligible for parole after eight years, despite being given a life sentence, because the murder was committed in 1992 and as a result is subject to the state's homicide by child abuse sentencing rules in effect at the time the crime was done.

She will therefore be given the chance to be released from custody after serving a minimum of 10 years. According to the York County Solicitor's Office, Rabon was given two years of time served because she has been in custody since her arrest in August 2021, making her eligible for parole in 2031. The Herald Online reported that despite the sentencing limitations, Judge McKinnon told the court that he thought Rabon deserved to spend the rest of her days in prison.

McKinnon allegedly said, "A newborn comes into this world looking for its parents to protect it," during the hearing on Wednesday. "More than 50 stabs were made to this baby." Testing revealed that at the time of her death, Angel Hope also had cocaine in her system. On Wednesday, Rabon also made her first appearance before the jury after declining to testify in her own defense before the trial.

In my early years, I made some terrible decisions. I am more aware of what I did than anyone else, according to Rabon. Why? "Because I cared." Additionally, according to reports, Rabon pleaded with the judge for "mercy" in the punishment. A "Sears shopping bag" was discovered floating in the Catawba River on August 12, 1992, by an 18-year-old guy swimming between Rock Hill and Fort Mill, as previously reported by Law&Crime.

The man found a baby's body inside the bag that appeared to have been stabbed to death. The baby was just a few hours old. The baby's body was covered in a sheet. But as the investigation's leads ran out, the case became unsolved and stayed that way for years. However, in 2019, investigators found DNA evidence in the sheet that was used to wrap the infant before she was thrown into the river.

As a result of a prior drug conviction, Rabon's DNA was found in a national criminal database, which allowed authorities to trace it back to him. Authorities claim that after being questioned, Rabon acknowledged giving birth to a girl inside a van on August 12, 1992, but she claimed to have given the infant to a couple for adoption. According to the Herald, prosecutors informed journalists following the hearing that they think Rabon merely made up that story to avoid going to jail.

The case had a big influence on the neighborhood since people chose to call the unnamed kid Angel Hope instead of the usual "Jane Doe" nickname. Community members paid for the service and Angel's burial at the Forest Hills cemetery, according to Charlotte, North Carolina, CBS affiliate WBTV. Rabon has ten days to appeal the verdict; he was defended by the 16th Circuit Public Defender's Office. A request for response from Law&Crime was not immediately answered by the public defender's office.
