In February 2002, she was sentenced to death for the abduction and murder in 2001 of 20-year-old Joana Rodriguez in order to steal Rodriguez's newborn son. Carty claimed she was framed by her co-defendants who were drug dealers because she had previously been an informant.

Carty has appealed her conviction, with her most recent petition to the United States Supreme Court for a writ of ''certiorari'' being denied by the Supreme Court on November 13, 2018. Provided by Wikipedia
