A woman who was convicted of murdering her mother when she was just 15 has given birth.
Valessa Robinson made international headlines when she, her boyfriend and a friend took LSD then killed her real estate agent mother Vicki, 49, in their upscale Tampa Bay, Florida, home in 1998.
A jury heard she stabbed her mother twice in the throat and once in the back.
Now, little more than two years after being released from jail, the now-32-year-old has been pictured beaming with a child of her own.

Robinson, who now resides in South Florida, was said to be enraged that her mother Vicki planned to send her to a Christian boarding school for troubled girls. They are pictured together in 1997, months before the murder
Pictures on Facebook show the convicted killer smiling sweetly at the camera with her partner, a man named Hunter Markarian, and their son, who seems to have been born around August 2015.

ShareShortly before she was due to move, a jury heard, she helped then-boyfriend Adam Davis and Jon Whispel to kill Vicki Robinson, a single mother of two.
They stole her mother's van and credit cards and dumped her body, then set off on a cross-country escape, before they were eventually captured in Texas.
She was convicted of third-degree murder and served 13 years of a 20-year sentence.

Davis is on death row and Whispel remains in prison.
Ed Philips, who was friends with Valessa before she was jailed, told Bay News 9 he had mixed feelings about her beaming photographs, which refer to the child as a 'cutie'.
'When I first saw the picture, I didn’t recognize her at first,' he told the news station.
'Her appearance has drastically changed, and it’s good, but it was such a painful tragedy for many of us. We knew that Vicki would love to have seen her daughter have a second chance.'
