A judge said she was guilty of interferring with child custody and of breaking the parental notification law regarding abortion. She will be in jail for a year now because of the guilty verdict. There may be repercussions for the clinic involved as well; since they allegedly didn’t follow through and verify Cindi Cook’s claim of parentage of the teenaged girl. (more…)
