Texas Attorney Charged with Buying Babies from Inmates: Cops

The women, authorities alleged, were given hundreds of dollars with promises of more money.

Hall tried to set up a meeting before a 29-year-old victim’s due date, according to the arrest warrant.

The court documents detail one alleged message recorded from the suspect to an inmate: “Hi (*****) — My name is Jody Hall. I am the Director of the Adoption Agency that you have signed with. I need to talk to you since you’re now in jail and your due date is not that far away. Can you please give me a call tomorrow?”

Later, messages from Hall to the inmate allegedly show she offered money, noting she “should be putting $$ on your books today or tomorrow”, the arrest report claims.

In addition, police said Hall was communicating with a second inmate, writing to the 24-year-old woman: “I’ve helped a lot of girls like yourself. We have families who cannot have children that would love to adopt your child … We will put $100 weekly on your books and you can spend part of it on the tablet or whatever you wish to buy.”

The second inmate also reportedly chose to keep her child.
