"A judge set bail today at $1 million for a pregnant woman accused of fatally stabbing her boyfriend at their Southwest Side home after they fought because the man didn’t’ buy anything for her at a shopping mall.......
Martin, 28, is the father of her unborn child and they lived together......"
The couple went to the mall with Martin's 8 year old son and his 25 year old cousin. Martin bought something for his son and his cousin but not for Miata. This enraged her and on the ride home from the mall she attacked him, almost causing the car to wreck.
When they stopped to drop off an item at Martin's mother, she scratched and hit Martin and drove off in his car, leaving Martin, his 8 year old son and the cousin behind.
The trio walked to the apartment that the couple shared and where the couple argued again and Miata locked them all out.
Martin pounded on the door and Miata opened it. Once inside, Phelan stabbed Martin in his side with a knife. Martin's son had entered the apartment with his father and witnessed Miata stab his father. Martin screamed in pain and the cousin ran into the apartment and applied pressure and escorted him out the apartment where he collapsed.
Phelan was not done yet and she stood over Martin as he lay dying on the sidewalk, screaming: “This is what you get for messing with me,’’ . “I hope you die, mother f-----,’’ Martin was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead.
At her bail hearing, Miata's sister, Arnesia, was in attendance and claimed Martin had been physically abusing her sister but that she just recently been told this when Miata canceled her baby shower which would have been this past Sunday. Arnesia said that her sister had not been herself lately and that she "knew something was wrong" but that her family had not ever met Martin, even though Miata and Larry lived together and Miata is 7 months pregnant.
I'm somewhat skeptical of the sister's claims. Why would her family not have met the boyfriend, especially if Miata was pregnant and they suspected that Martin was abusing her? From the account of the fatal fight, Miata certainly seemed to be the fearless aggressor, not the abused, scared victim. but I guess we will hear more about this as the case develops.
Seriously this is unbelievable. Who behaves this way? Her birthday was allegedly Thursday so I guess she felt she deserved a gift but this is just insane. Miata was a college senior only a few classes away from graduating with a degree in public relations and had good position as an intern ( http://www.niagarafoundation.org/dynamic-niagara-intern-has-an-eye-for-marketing-ear-for-hip-hop/ ).
I just can't even figure why she would throw her whole life away over not getting something at the mall. I'm sure there there will be a whole lot more to come in this story.
