Man who cut baby from mother’s womb can argue he didn’t get fair trial

The man who cut a baby from his mother’s womb in 1995, hideously killing her and two of her children, will get a chance to argue that he was denied a fair trial, a federal judge has ruled.

Fedell Caffey, 39, is appealing his conviction in the 1995 murder of Debra Evans and her 10-year-old daughter, Samantha, in their Addison apartment. He also was convicted of the murder of Evans’ son Joshua, 7, who was initially spared but later killed because he wouldn’t stop talking about the murders.

Prosecutors said he slashed Evans’ abdomen to steal her baby boy because his girlfriend, Jacqueline “Annette” Williams, couldn’t conceive.
