Her adult daughter said that Sherry asked her how quickly she would get the life insurance check on the night that Antonio was murdered.
I saw a defense motion doc asking for discovery of any such policies, based on that interview.
Can't find anything that either confirms or refutes that there was any such policy on Antonio's life.
It could be that Sherry West is just one very odd and unlucky lady and the baby's father just happens to be a hotheaded abuser. There seems to be a lot of circumstantial evidence against the teens.
There are so many weird pieces and twists in this story. If the teens, and the teens alone (and maybe members of Elkins' alleged gang) are responsible for the baby's death as part of an attempted robbery only, the crimes of the baby's father and oddities of West's statement are giving the defense some real hole-poking and finger-pointing opportunities.
