A baby-obsessed Colorado woman who cut a baby from the womb of a complete stranger was sentenced Friday to 100 years in prison for the sickening crime.
Dynel Lane, 36, will likely die behind bars for the March 2015 attack on Michelle Wilkins, who was nearly eight months pregnant at the time.

The unborn baby girl died but Wilkins miraculously survived — and was in the courtroom as the judge handed down the stiff sentence.

Lane lured Wilkins to her home with a Craigslist ad promising free maternity clothes.

Prosecutors had asked the judge for a 126-year sentence, the max allowed for convictions of attempted murder, on four charges of felony assault and one count of unlawful termination of a pregnancy.

Colorado law did not allow a murder charge for the dead fetus.

Why not?
