   BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) – A Boulder County jury is deliberating on   
   whether to find a woman guilty of attempted first-degree murder   
   in the incident nearly a year ago in which she cut an unborn   
   baby from another woman’s womb. After approximately six hours of   
   deliberation the jury went home for the night and will reconvene   
   Tuesday morning.   
      
   Dynel Lane, 35, is charged in the attack on Michelle Wilkins at   
   Lane’s Longmont home in March 2015.   
      
   Lane’s trial started last Wednesday and Lane didn’t take the   
   stand.   
      
   During closing arguments Monday morning attorneys for both sides   
   took about an hour each to speak to the jury.   
      
   Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett argued that while   
   Lane’s actions may have been poorly planned, her plan was to   
   commit murder.   
      
   “That is not reckless, that is not some kind of thoughtless act,   
   that is intentional behavior. And actions speak louder than   
   words, and when you’re trying to determine what was somebody   
   thinking, what did they intend when they harmed another human   
   being, you have to look at how they went about inflicting the   
   harm,” Garnett said.   
      
   “And when you do that in this case, the only conclusion you can   
   reach is that for whatever reason, for whatever thought or goal   
   she had … for whatever plan she had — and it wasn’t a good plan   
   — she intentionally, deliberately cut Michelle Wilkins to take   
   and to kill her baby.”   
      
   The defense argued that they believe Lane is guilty of the   
   attempted manslaughter charge she also faces, but that when the   
   crime is viewed carefully, it’s clear Lane is not guilty of   
   attempted murder.   
      
   “Why would she wait so long after Ms. Wilkins got to her house   
   to attack her?” said defense attorney Jennifer Beck, referring   
   to the fact that the attack took place about an hour after   
   Wilkins arrived at the home looking to buy baby clothes Lane had   
   listed for sale on Craigslist.   
      
   “Why wouldn’t she have a plan for how she was going to kill her?   
   Why wouldn’t she have a story to tell her family, or at the very   
   least, a story to tell the police?   
      
   “It doesn’t make any sense why a woman — a mother of two, who   
   had someone who loved her, who didn’t even want to have kids   
   would do something like this. It doesn’t make any sense because   
   it was a hasty, impulsive and reckless act.”   
      
   Lane could face as much as 140 years in prison if she is   
   convicted on all six counts she faces.
