MIAMI (WSVN) – A Miami woman whose case gained national attention after she became pregnant while in jail has been found guilty of killing her boyfriend, a jury decided Thursday.
Daisy Link was convicted of second-degree murder in connection with a 2022 shooting that was captured on surveillance video, showing her holding a gun when the incident occurred, according to police.
While the murder case was already serious, Link made headlines in 2023 after it was revealed she became pregnant behind bars through a bizarre scheme involving another inmate.
Investigators said Link and inmate Joan Depaz used a lapse in the jail’s security to pass semen through an air vent using saran wrap and string.
Link later gave birth to a baby girl and told 7News in an interview that the child was “a miracle” and “a blessing.”
The incident led to major security changes at Miami-Dade jails.
Link, who had claimed she acted in self-defense in the fatal shooting, now faces sentencing following the jury’s guilty verdict.
