Carisa Ashe

Carisa Ashe is an Atlanta-area woman whose story briefly became a media sensation in 2005. She had been charged with the 16 December 1998 beating death of her five-month-old daughter Destiny Ashe.

However, a plea bargain was reached, which did not require her to serve any prison time but did include mandatory sterilization. The alleged leniency of this agreement, as well as the sterilization requirement, aroused great controversy.

Carisa Ashe is an unmarried mother of eight children, including the one who was murdered. Of the other children, one is missing, two are living with Carisa's parents, and the remaining four were taken by the state.
