ChicagoTribune: is reporting that: A judge
set bail today at $1 million for a pregnant woman accused of fatally stabbing
her boyfriend at their Southwest Side home after they fought because the man
didn’t’ buy anything for her at a shopping mall.
Judge Maria Kuriakos Ciesil set the bail for
Miata Phelan, 24, of the 6800 block of South Talman Avenue, who is charged with
first-degree murder.
The visibly pregnant Phelan, who appeared in
court today wearing pink sweat pants with black stripes, a pink top, and black
leather jacket, allegedly plunged a knife into Larry Martin’s left flank on
April 30, prosecutors said.
Martin, 28, is the father of her unborn child and
they lived together.
Before the stabbing happened, Phelan, Martin,
Martin’s 8-year-old son and 25-year-old cousin, a man, went shopping at a
shopping mall. On the way home, Phelan accused Martin of being selfish because
he bought things for his cousin and son but not for her, Asst. State’s Attorney
Glen Runk said.
Court records show Phelan turned 24 on May 1.
Runk said Phelan struck Martin while he was
driving, almost causing an accident, and after Phelan drove to Martin’s
mother’s home to drop off shoes for Martin’s brother, she kicked and scratched
Martin before driving away in his car, leaving Martin, his 8-year-old and
Martin’s cousin outside.
The three walked to the couple’s nearby apartment
and when Phelan arrived about the same time, she and Martin began arguing again
and she locked the three outside, Runk said.
Martin banged on the door until she opened it and
once inside, Phelan stabbed Martin in his side with a knife, Runk said.
