UPDATE: South Florida Woman Who Conceived Child In Prison With Another Inmate Convicted Of Murder (VIDEO)

What started as a tragedy behind closed doors has now turned into a national headline — and it’s got the internet watching very closely. Daisy Link, a South Florida mother of three, was just convicted of second-degree murder in the death of her longtime partner and father of her children. But this case? It’s deeper than just the verdict. And, the story that’s been unraveling since 2022 is filled with twists, trauma, and a so-called “miracle” baby that caught everyone off guard.

Link Says She Fired To Scare, Not Kill

The fatal shooting committed by Daisy Link happened after years of what her defense described as an abusive and volatile relationship. However, jurors took less than two hours to find Link guilty in the 2022 shooting of her partner Pedro Jimenez. The trial also featured an emotional testimony — even from the couple’s 11-year-old son. He reportedly told the court that he saw his father aim a gun at his mother and pistol-whip her. Additionally, Link testified that Jimenez was under the influence and became violent after accusing her of cheating. Link claimed that she fired the gun at Jimenez to scare him off, not to kill. “It’s not like I didn’t love him,” she said on the stand. “That’s the father of my kids.”

But, what really grabbed national attention was what happened after Link’s arrest. As previously reported, in 2023, she became pregnant while behind bars — and later gave birth in June 2024. The father? Another inmate, Joan DePaz. According to both, the baby was conceived through self-insemination and they’ve called it a “miracle.” Her sister, Crystal Barretto, says Link is a victim of domestic violence and is heartbroken over the verdict, urging the judge to consider her past and her children during sentencing. “The fight is not over,” she said, as Link’s legal team prepares to appeal.

Guilty Verdict In—But This Case Isn’t Over

Furthermore, one juror said the decision was based purely on the facts, and prosecutors painted the shooting as a fit of rage. With sentencing set for November 21 and an appeal already in motion, this case is far from over — and social media is definitely watching how it all plays out.

“I hope the judge takes into consideration all the evidence that was presented, the past domestic violence, history against Pedro and Daisy and the time she’s already served,” Crystal Barretto shared. “And also taken into consideration, her children and the new baby that was just born.”
