the prosecution lessening the charges after promising to fight for conviction? it s appropriate. when you re a prosecutor and you have to come up with a plea agreement or a plea offer, you have to think about the victim, the defendant, the deterrence factor and office policies. it s very appropriate. like lisa said, 15 years is just ridiculous. then again, if this was a man people would be screaming for closer to that 15 years than probation and able to erase it off of her record. that s another thing, brooke. this plea gives her the opportunity to erase this off her record down the road. that s significant. this is all just according to our affiliate that she rejected this second plea deal. lisa blum, monica lindstrom, thank you both very much. on the case today. coming up next, new video just into us here at cnn of a woman giving birth on the hospital floor. it couldn t wait. wait until you hear who came to the rescue. the great outdoors, and a great deal.
and does not allow her to compete. it s unfortunate, but if that s what the rules say, then they should look for a way to maybe change the rules for the future. i feel like, lisa, this sounds like the case from last hour where you were saying the law is the law. it may be tough but it s the law of the land. again, rules are rules. right. well, and look, you have to respect that the paralympics needs to make rules about who is disabled and who is not. you don t want somebody who s a completely able-bodied person competing against disabled people. there are so many different degrees of disability. but if i were representing her, i might argue that her condition is permanent anyway. the rule doesn t say 100% permanent. the word permanent might allow a little leeway for some glimmer of hope in the future. doctors never like to say anything is 100% or 0%. the fact they re leaving open a little bit of possibility in the future shouldn t bar her from participating. okay. maybe there s

schreiber, just said if a woman. does not have certainty about her child and you can come back at any point in time and ask for legal rights to the child, why would any woman theny a sperm donor in the first place? testimony is still going on right now in sacramento. shepard: let s bring in family law attorney, monica lindstrom. it s not as if this woman went out to a sperm donor and got somebody at random or somebody she didn t know. this is her boyfriend. and this guy was acting as father. maybe they didn t have the paperwork there but they had this child together, though through artificial inseptember nation now they break up and it s not as if we re talking about guy who has been in legal trouble or moral problems. seems like a guy who might be a pretty good father and she is denying that child the opportunity to have a father. that seems a little wrong. itself really does because when you look at the factual
