Amy Newhouse is the pregnant legal secretary of David Alcott, who masterminded her own assault and crude abortion with her boyfriend Christopher Baylor as a long con to scam David.
History[]
Amy and Chris conceived a child together, and with Chris’ background as a disbarred lawyer, they planned to extort David with a lie that the child was his, with the threat of telling his wife and destroying his career. Extortion from blackmail wasn’t enough, so Amy walked home from work and into an alley, where she had Chris beat her unconscious, violently enough to kill their fetal child. As a worse consequence, Amy was rendered infertile from the beating.
The couple still planned to keep going, preparing a misdemeanor civil suit for $10 million U.S. The revelation was damaging enough David’s wife ended up filing for divorce. When the couple’s relationship and history, along with Amy’s evasion from cooperating with the police, turned suspicions on them, Amy and Chris were tried for attempted murder. The prosecution realized a law permitted the charge to apply to Amy’s child, so the jury was instructed to consider accordingly. The jury convicted on such grounds in account.
Amy was found guilty of attempted murder and imprisoned. (L&O: "Misconception")
