Williams herself was charged with severing the spinal cord of “Baby C.” She plead guilty to two counts of third degree murder and four related crimes.
Williams’ testimony, although reportedly delivered in a monotone, was riveting. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Joseph A. Slobodzian,
“One of her duties, Williams said,
was to retrieve fetuses women would sometimes spontaneously abort in the
waiting room after getting large doses of drugs to dilate the cervix.
“One day, Williams testified, a woman
expelled a second-trimester fetus into the toilet and it was moving.
Williams said she took a pair of scissors and snipped the spine as
Gosnell showed her.
“’I did it once, and I didn’t do it again because it gave me the creeps,’ Williams said.
“Williams also told of how she
administered the anesthesia on Nov. 19, 2009, the night abortion patient
Karnamaya Mongar went into cardiac arrest.
“Prosecutors alleged that Mongar, 41,
of Virginia, was overdosed with Demerol. That is the basis of one
third-degree murder charge that Williams pleaded guilty to and also the
third-degree murder charge against Gosnell.”
Slobodzian also detailed Williams’s testimony about Mrs. Mongar:
“As Gosnell performed the abortion on
Mongar, Williams testified, she watched the pulse in the patient’s neck
grow fainter and her skin get grayer.
“After the procedure was over, she said, Gosnell listened for a heartbeat and found none.
“’The doc got freaked out, hysterical,’ Williams testified. ‘He started doing CPR immediately.’
“Paramedics restored a heartbeat but
Mongar was brain-dead when she reached the emergency room of the
Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.”
