A Texas man, Mason Herring, a 39-year-old Houston attorney, was sentenced to 180 days in jail and 10 years of probation after pleading guilty to injury to a child and assault of a pregnant person. Herring drugged his wife's drinks in an attempt to induce an abortion. His wife, Catherine Herring, filed for divorce and said the jail sentence was not long enough. Their 1-year-old child, born prematurely with developmental delays, attended therapy eight times a week. Catherine discovered packaging for a misoprostol-containing drug in the trash and provided hidden camera footage to the police, showing Herring mixing a substance in her drink.
