Inmate's Jailhouse Pregnancy Scheme: Daisy Link's Murder Trial and Scheme to Get Out

The Jailhouse Pregnancy Scheme

• 💡 Daisy Link, accused of murdering her husband, became pregnant while in a South Florida county jail in the fall of 2023.
• 🎯 Authorities found no evidence of sexual battery, but DNA confirmed the father was Jawan Depaz, a fellow inmate accused of murder.
• 🚀 The couple, separated by two floors, communicated and passed notes through an air duct using a makeshift cable from bedding.
• ✉️ Notes included affectionate messages like "My snuggle wuggle baby girl" and a list of baby names.
• 🔬 Depaz admitted to sending his semen to Link via Saran Wrap, which she reportedly administered using a yeast infection applicator.

Phone Calls and Mother's Reaction

• 💬 Before the pregnancy was confirmed, Link and Depaz discussed the possibility of her being pregnant over a recorded jail phone line.
• 📞 Link's mother reacted with shock and disbelief, with Link stating, "I can get out now. I'm going to sue."
• ⚠️ Link's mother warned her about discussing such plans on a recorded line, calling her "stupid."

Legal Ramifications and Trial Strategy

• ⚖️ Daisy Link's attorney, Tony Tomas, states the pregnancy and birth are not relevant to her ongoing murder trial and he will object to their introduction.
• 🎤 While Link is likely to testify, the attorney believes the prosecution cannot impeach her credibility with the pregnancy scheme due to lack of relevance.
• 💥 The defense's strategy for the murder trial focuses on self-defense, citing a violent attack by the victim on Link just five days prior to the shooting.
• 📈 Evidence includes the victim's belligerent state and explicit statements about not leaving, suggesting Link was trying to leave and he was aggressive.
• 👶 The baby girl born from this scheme is now living with Depaz's mother.
