HOUSTON (AP) — A Texas man who drugged his wife’s drinks in an attempt to induce an abortion was sentenced to 180 days in jail and 10 years on probation.
Mason Herring, a 39-year-old Houston attorney, pleaded guilty Wednesday to injury to a child and assault of a pregnant person. He had initially been charged with felony assault to induce abortion.
Catherine Herring, who has filed for divorce, told the court the jail sentence was not long enough. She said their 1-year-old daughter, their third child, was born about 10 weeks premature, has developmental delays and attends therapy eight times a week.
“I do not believe that 180 days is justice for attempting to kill your child seven separate times,” Catherine Herring said.
Catherine Herring told authorities her husband in March 2022 began lecturing her on hydration and offering water. She said she became severely ill after drinking from the first cup that appeared cloudy, which her husband explained was perhaps the result of the cup or water pipes being dirty.
Catherine Herring became suspicious and began refusing multiple other drinks her husband offered. She later found in the trash packaging for a drug that contains misoprostol, a medicine used to induce abortion.
She also gave police videos from hidden cameras she installed at her home where her husband was no longer living. One of them showed him mixing a substance in one of her drinks, Catherine Herring said.
Mason Herring’s attorney, Dan Codgell, called the plea deal and sentence reasonable.
“It’s a sad situation and Mason has accepted his responsibility,” Cogdell said.

"The Sopranos" television series is a truly legendary work that changed its viewers' perception of TV shows…And, of course, changed people's perception of the American Mafia.
Before that, the standard for gangster movies was "The Godfather" with its theme of family and revenge. Then it was followed by "Goodfellas", which showed a more mundane side of the Mafia lifestyle than was believed. And finally, in 1999, The Sopranos was released, at which point we saw that the drama in the gangster genre could be deeper and more versatile than in "The Godfather", and that the realism and homeliness of "Goodfellas" was not at all the standard. The Sopranos set a new bar that very few people have approached so far.
That's why this series has so many fans around the world, even so many years after its end. However, not all of them are aware that the Soprano family from the show had a real-life Mafia counterpart called the DeCavalcante family that looked a hell of a lot like it. The show's creator, David Chase, has of course denied that he wrote The Sopranos in the image of the DeCavalcantes, but the many coincidences that have been brought up by members of that Mafia family themselves point to his obvious guile.
