The young, pregnant woman by the name of Mary Maloney is being tried today for the accusation of murder. I am here to accuse Mrs. Maloney of a shocked, thought-jumbled second degree murder. Mary had been sitting in her home waiting for her beloved husband to return at around 5 P.M. on Thursday. She happily greeted him, prepared him a drink, and discussed their planned dinner. Patrick had finished his drink in two quick gulps and grabbed another. Mary kindly offered to get if for him, to which he replied telling her to sit down. The news given to Mary was the start of the crime committed that night.

What if Mary did not in fact commit this murder? Maybe, what if her hormones from the pregnancy affected her mental state? That is possible, yes, but from my studies say, that may not be quite true. When a woman’s hormones become heightened with a baby on the way, the effects are as follows, increase in emotion, forgetfulness, nausea, increased appetite, and aching. As you can see, none of these symptoms would play a major role in “accidentally” killing Patrick in an uncontrollable mental state. The closest to the reasoning that her mind was indeed affected is her emotions. Her heightened progesterone and estrogen levels would affect her emotions, which would only add to the feelings from the bad news. Her brain does not simply lose all sense of thought, or right and wrong though. Mary could still make the choice to or to not kill him. Though her action was not planned out, she knew full well what she was trying to do.
To summarize, Mary Maloney should be charged with second degree murder for her horrid actions. Though she had never planned to murder her husband whom she had loved so much, she still killed him all the same. This woman could not bear the thought of losing Patrick Maloney, so she chose to take her anger and fear out on the man when he least expected. The fear for her unborn child caused the cover up that led us here. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your time and
