Woman Rejects Plea Deal in Death of Newborn Jul 13th 2012, 21:49 A Chinese immigrant who Indiana prosecutors say ate rat poison while eight months pregnant has rejected a plea agreement that would have negated a murder charge in her newborn baby's death. Authorities say Bei Bei Shuai (Bay Bay Shway) was in court Friday and turned down prosecutors' offer to plead guilty to a lesser charge of attempted feticide. Had she accepted the deal, Shuai could have faced six to 20 years in prison or a suspended sentence. The 35-year-old Shanghai native has until Aug. 31 to change her mind. Shuai was freed on bond in May after more than a year in an Indianapolis jail. Shuai ate rat poison in December 2010 after her boyfriend broke up with her. The child was delivered but died three days later.
