Sandra Birchmore Called Him Officer Farwell. Why Did She Still Want His Baby?

Sandra Birchmore was still making plans with Matthew Farwell in her last weeks, and now that a federal jury has convicted him of killing her and her unborn child, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me on True Crime Today to talk about why.

Sandra grew up in the Stoughton police youth program and lost her mother and grandmother as a young woman. Prosecutors said Farwell's relationship with her began when she was fifteen. In her final weeks, she was asking a lawyer about putting his last name on the birth certificate, and texts in the case show the two of them fighting over what role he'd have once the baby came.

Shavaun and I talk about the pull an older man's attention has on a girl that age, how that kind of start can shape what a woman accepts later, and why being treated warmly one day and coldly the next can deepen the bond. We also get into realizing you've been used, and how to talk to a friend who keeps defending a man who's hurting her.

Farwell's sentencing is set for February, and he faces a mandatory life sentence.
