Sweet Cherry Ann's Bitter Confession

Krystal Sweet Ann Halliburton was officially sent to her heavenly reward on January 16, 2006 in Aberdeen, South Dakota. Pastors Gary Compton and Deb Barnett presided over the little girl's service. In Krystal's obituary, it was noted that her mother, Sweet Cherry Ann Halliburton, was "grateful for having shared" Krystal's life.
Two years and 8 months later, Sweet Cherry Ann had another baby. The Texas woman had a little boy this time, on August 9.
Sweet Cherry Ann Halliburton drove up to Summit Ridge Hospital in Lee's Summit, MO on Tuesday, September 23, and walked into the emergency room. She told the employees there that she had a dead baby in her car.
After police arrived, Sweet Cherry Ann waived her Miranda rights and confessed -- she'd killed the baby boy in the car. She pulled him into her lap and smothered him to death with an unidentified piece of clothing.
That wasn't all, though -- between little Krystal and the as-yet unnamed baby boy born in August, there was another child, Eiam Enchrist Halliburton (get it? "I am in Christ"). That infant died in September, 2007, in Fort Worth, TX. At the time, it appeared to be a case of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS. Sweet Cherry Ann said she'd left the baby asleep and gone to take a shower. When she got out of the shower, he was dead. Her story changed a little later -- she told some medical personnel that she fell asleep in the same bed with little Eiam and woke up to find that he wasn't breathing.
Now police in South Dakota and Texas will re-examine the fates of Sweet Cherry Ann's other babies.
Sweet Cherry Ann Halliburton reportedly asked a detective from Fort Worth during a recent interview if Texas had the death penalty.
I don't know what the Texas cop said, but let me tell you -- oh, yeah. Texas damn sure has the death penalty, Sweet Cherry Ann. And if there's one state in the union that won't hesitate to use it, that state is most assuredly Texas.
Sweet Cherry Ann is currently being held in Jackson County, MO on a $250,000 cash-only bond.
