A mother who is accused of killing her newborn son in Mountain View has been allowed to remove her ankle monitor while she awaits a trial, court records show.
Jennifer Marie Tupper, 35, is charged with murder and child abuse on Aug. 2, 2021.
That’s when Tupper called her friend and told her she had given birth to a stillborn baby alone in a backyard cottage on Leghorn Street, and her friend called police.
At El Camino Hospital, Tupper told doctors, “It’s in a bag,” Deputy District Attorney Rebekah Wise said in a motion opposing Tupper’s release.
Coroner report
The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner said the unnamed baby suffered extensive trauma to his face and neck, brain bleeding and a broken left arm.
“If there is any way to do all of this without anyone finding out I’d be extremely excited,” Tupper allegedly wrote in her journal before giving birth.
When police officers read Tupper her journal entry at the station, she laughed to herself and said, “I would’ve been,” according to Wise.
Tupper claimed she was walking to the sink to get scissors to cut the umbilical cord when she fell on her baby and struck him with her elbow.
Addiction treatment
Tupper was addicted to cocaine and methamphetamine and a victim of domestic violence, her former defense attorney Ron Cordova said.
Tupper was released from the Elmwood Jail in Milpitas on April 14, 2025, to an addiction treatment center in San Jose, court records show.
Judge Benjamin Williams allowed her to remove her ankle monitor at her public defender’s request on March 25, over the objections of Deputy District Attorney Emily Lessard. A trial will be scheduled on May 27, court records show.
Betcha judge Benjamin Williams doesn’t even care what the babies name was.
Throw this drug addict baby killer into the wood chipper.
Don’t disparage Benjamin Williams. It’s a fine brand of paint. Just like his brothers Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore.
I’m sure many of you are saying, “It’s only humane to free this woman from her ankle bracelet.”
To that, I ask: What’s humane is beating your newborn baby to death and stuffing its body in a bag?
Are you kidding me? What’s wrong with these people letting out a cold-blooded killer? She murdered a child. She’s sick and twisted, and she’s going to do it again. Listen to what she said. She’s not even sad about the death. Her confession is sick. If I didn’t know any better, I would say they’re all part of something even sicker that we don’t know about. They’re doing something with her behind closed doors. But I bet you, if she was black or colored, she wouldn’t have seen the light of day! The judge, the attorney, the system are at play. They would have had a person of color at the stake. But you see it here, people, and you act like it’s not going on. That poor baby. The system is sick, and not even Jesus will save evil. Evil is evil, and that’s what happens when you have the skin to win. These people are all going to hell in a handbasket. You people don’t even care. And the worst possible scenario is that she’s out there free to do whatever she wants after taking an innocent child’s life. She should be behind bars . She took the baby’s life who ever that attorney is needs to be locked up too
