Magen Fieramusca had pretended to be pregnant and hoped to pass the baby off as her own, prosecutors said.
She was initially arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and tampering with a corpse, but in a later indictment, authorities laid out the plot: Fieramusca had pretended to be pregnant the same time Broussard was pregnant and planned to eventually pass off the baby as her own, prosecutors said.
Judge Selena Alvarenga told Fieramusca in court that she had “destroyed an entire family” and that no matter her sentence, nothing can make Broussard’s family whole again, the"I think it is difficult, if not impossible, to find justice and any sort of resolution to this horrendous crime. Ms. Fieramusca, the fact is that by your actions you have deprived an innocent child, an innocent baby, the opportunity of growing up with her mother next to her," Alvarenga said in court.
