A Maryland man who carjacked a woman while she was in labor has been jailed for five years.
Deverey Kelley, 25, and co-defendant Cornell Robinson, pointed guns at a man and woman as they were getting in their car to drive to the hospital to deliver their baby in Maryland last year.
They forced the woman to a nearby building and demanded money and she reportedly told them she was in labor. Despite her pleas, Robinson took her keys and fled in the car.
