The Hurricane, The Baby, The Life Sentence: Tiffany Woods Plea

The Hurricane, The Baby, The Life Sentence: Tiffany Woods Plea

In 2005, just weeks after surviving a 41-day stay in the NICU, baby Emmanuel Woods died of malnutrition in Shreveport, Louisiana. His mother, Tiffany Woods, was later convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Her crime? Switching her premature infant to cow’s milk after Hurricane Katrina displaced the family and disrupted access to formula and medical care. Nearly twenty years later, after earning a degree behind bars and raising four surviving children from a distance, Tiffany requested parole. Two board members voted to release her. One vote kept her in prison. So what do we call this case? Was this criminal neglect? Or a catastrophic mistake made in survival mode during one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history?
