PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) - Police have charged a 31-year-old
Florida woman with murder after she allegedly smothered her
8-year-old son to death on Christmas.
Police said Eryn Allegra, of Port St. Lucie, gave the boy eight
Advil pills to put him to sleep, then early Thursday morning
suffocated him with a pillow in a hotel room. Allegra then
allegedly tried to slit her wrists, but the blade she used was too
dull. Police said she dialed 911 and was taken to a local hospital.
Allegra told investigators she had been having financial
problems since August 2007.
It was unclear if Allegra had an attorney.

Sprinkle I would have done the same thing. What kind of idiot helps someone who killed their child? I hope they beat her to death in prison!!

Life in prison should not even be considered for a person that would do something like that. She should be put to death ASAP!! I have to say, If I was the paramedic that responded to the scene, they would have had to arrest me because there’s no way I would have tried to save her after seeing what she had done to her son.

Also, why should taxpayers have to support people like this? If the law won’t allow them to kill her then I say someone needs to slip her a fresh blade and let her finish what she started!!

ummmmmm,so she couldnt kill herself right, so she called for help to save herself…and we’re going to feed this woman in prison for the next 20 yrs because she was having financial problems??? the death penalty should be swift in these cases.
