South Florida woman who gained national attention for pregnancy behind bars testifies in murder trial
A woman who gained national attention after becoming pregnant behind bars took the stand Wednesday in her second-degree murder trial.
Daisy Link, 30, is accused of shooting and killing her longtime partner, Pedro Jimenez Sr., in Homestead in 2022.
Defendant recounts confrontation
Link told jurors that several days before the shooting, Jimenez showed up to her home while she was there with her children, her cousin David and his kids.
She testified that Jimenez, who she said was on drugs, became enraged when he saw another man inside the home.
“There was just a glare, from me, to David, back to me, and from there, he pulled out a gun,” said Link.
Link testified that Jimenez charged at her with the gun, a tussle followed, and she ran out the front door.
“And I heard a bullet — well I heard it dislodge…he fired it at me,” said Link.
11-year-old son testifies
The couple’s 11-year-old son, who shares both parents, testified through Zoom.
“He pointed the gun at my mom and he fired a shot but he missed,” said the boy.
He also told the court he witnessed his father pistol-whipping his mother.
“At some point, you said that your dad was hitting on your mom, was he hitting her with something?” asked the attorney.
“Yea, he was hitting her with the bottom of the gun?” said the son.
“With what?” asked the attorney.
“With the bottom of the gun,” the boy replied.
Relationship turmoil described in court
Link testified that days after the beating, she and Jimenez made up but argued again after he accused her of cheating. She said she eventually admitted to the affair, and Jimenez became enraged and aggressive.
She said she repeatedly told him to leave, but he kept coming back — “hysterical.” That’s when, she testified, she grabbed the gun and fired.
“I initially aimed towards the floor as I lifted up the gun I didn’t expect for it to hit him, I just thought the sound would scare him off this time for good,” said Link.
The bullet struck Jimenez in the leg, killing him.
“That’s the father of my kids. It’s not like I didn’t love him, I did,” said Link.
Prosecutors push back
Prosecutors argue that Link shot Jimenez in a fit of rage.
Closing arguments are set to begin Thursday morning.

Florida couple in alleged embryo mix-up have identified biological parents of ‘non-caucasian’ baby
A Florida couple who claimed a fertility clinic error led the woman giving birth to a “non-Caucasian child” who was not related to them said they have identified their child’s biological parents, according to reports.
“The results of testing delivered to us today confirm that our baby’s genetic parents have been identified,” Tiffany Score and Steven Mills said in a statement obtained by People on Wednesday.
Score and Mills filed a lawsuit in January against Fertility Center of Orlando and its head reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Milton McNichol, alleging that another patient’s embryo was implanted in Score’s uterus in April 2025.
The mix-up led to the birth of their now 4-month-old daughter, Shea, who is not biologically related to them, the filing alleged.
“This ends one chapter in our heartbreaking journey, but it raises new issues that will have to be resolved,” the statement continued. “In addition, questions about the disposition of our own embryos are still unanswered and are even more unlikely to ever be answered.”
“Only one thing is as absolutely certain today as it was on the day our daughter was born —we will love and will be this child’s parents forever.”
The couple added that they will respect the privacy of Shea’s biological parents and will keep their identities “confidential.”
Score and Mills, who are both white, stored three viable embryos at the Longwood clinic in 2020 for in vitro fertilization, a process that creates embryos and stores them until pregnancy.
Five years later, after an embryo was implanted, the couple gave birth to a “beautiful, healthy female child” on Dec. 11, 2025, according to the lawsuit filed Jan. 22 in Orange County Circuit Court and obtained by Law & Crime.
“Tragically, while both Jane Doe and John Doe are racially Caucasian, Baby Doe displayed the physical appearance of a racially non-Caucasian child,” the lawsuit said.
Further genetic testing confirmed that baby Shea had no biological relationship to either parent — raising questions about where their embryos had gone or whether another woman was impregnated with their biological child.
The new parents had an “intensely strong emotional bond” with their child during pregnancy and wished to keep the girl, but recognized she “should legally and morally be united with her genetic parents so long as they are fit, able and willing to take her,” the lawsuit stated.
Scarola told People, following Wednesday’s development, that Shea’s biological parents have not made any requests to take her into custody.
“Remaining questions about the fate of Tiffany and Steven’s unaccounted for embryos…are still pending,” Scarola said.
“The current legal proceeding will remain open to address those matters,” the attorney added. “However, we expect that we will now also begin to focus on the need for our clients to be compensated for the expenses they have incurred and the severe emotional trauma that they endured and will continue to experience.”
The Fertility Clinic of Orlando announced earlier this month that it would close by May 20 — a decision leadership said was made after “thoughtful consideration.”
Neither Scarola nor the clinic immediately responded to The Post’s request for comment.
