Pregnant Inmate Accused of Murdering Partner After Conceiving Behind Bars

In October 2025, a Florida woman named Daisy Link is on trial for the murder of her partner, Pedro Jimenez, who was fatally shot in June 2022. The case has gained attention due to the unusual circumstances surrounding Link's pregnancy in 2024, which occurred while she was incarcerated.

According to court records, Link was in jail on murder charges in 2024 when she gave birth to a baby whose father was also an inmate at the time. Both Link and the father, Joan Depaz, claimed they had never met in person or had any physical contact. However, they allegedly used bedding and Saran wrap to pass semen between their cells, leading to Link's unexpected pregnancy.

Now, two years after the shooting, Link's trial has begun. Prosecutors have presented body cam footage from the aftermath, in which Link can be heard misleading investigators by claiming she had just found Jimenez suffering from a gunshot wound. However, Link's attorneys have since admitted that she did shoot Jimenez, but they argue that she acted in self-defense, claiming Jimenez was "out of control" and "dangerous."

The case has captivated the public, with the unusual circumstances surrounding Link's pregnancy adding an additional layer of intrigue to the murder trial. As the proceedings continue, the jury will have to determine whether Link's actions were justified or if she is guilty of the charges she faces.
