Celeste Burgess, an 18-year-old Nebraska woman, was sentenced to 90 days imprisonment and two years of probation for being guilty of illegal abortion after burning and burying a fetus last Thursday. The Nebraska woman successfully aborted her fetus with the help of her mother.
Jessica, the mother of an 18-year-old Nebraska woman, pleaded guilty to concealing or abandoning the fetus of her child.
The Court finds that while probation is appropriate for an 18-year-old Nebraska woman, imprisonment is necessary because, without this imprisonment, it would belittle the gravity of the crime committed or promote impertinence to the law.
