Lawyer Brings Pregnant Wife Breakfast in Bed LACED WITH POISON

Catherine Herring is pregnant with her third child and catches her husband lying about his whereabouts and texting a former female colleague.  After a confrontation, Mason Herring tells his wife he wants to separate so he can work on himself, and moves out. Mason Herring tells his wife he wants a divorce but would look like a jerk divorcing her while she is pregnant. Catherine Herring still has hope for the marriage and believes they can work it out. At the advice of a marriage counselor, the couple spends Spring Break together.

Mason Herring seems to be getting excited about their third child and encourages his wife to drink more fluids. Along with breakfast in bed, Herring brings Catherine a glass of water, insisting she drink it all while he watches. The water is cloudy but the dutiful husband promises it is just old pipes or a slightly dirty glass. Catherine Herring drinks it and about 30-minutes after Mason Herring leaves for work, Catherine becomes sick with painful stomach cramps, and diarrhea. After her third trip to the bathroom, Catherine realizes she is bleeding heavily. Herring goes to the emergency room. Even after she is treated and sent home, she is still bleeding.

After getting home from the hospital, Mason Herring continues to bring drinks to his wife. The seal on a bottle of orange juice is broken and a powder is seen in the bottom of the bottle. Catherine Herring doesn't drink what her husband gives her, but takes it to a private investigator. 
Surveillance cameras inside their home catch Herring putting a powdered substance from a bag in his pocket into a drink that he gives his wife. Catherine Herring looks through the trash and finds a blister pack of Cyrux, a generic version of misoprostol, the drug most commonly used to induce an abortion. Catherine Herring meets with Houston police. 

Mason Herring was arrested in November 2022 and charged with assault with intent to force an abortion, assault of a pregnant person and attempted injury to child. Mason Herring agrees to plea deal, first assault charge is dropped and the injury to a child charge is reduced to a third-degree felony. Herring will spend 180 days in county jail with 10 years probation.

Married, pregnant, or whatever. If a man or anybody tell you they don’t want to be with you DO NOT beg do not fight it. Turn them loose.

[summerbreeze]

Disgraceful ruling by a 😡. That man tried to kill a baby. The baby lived but will have a miserable life disabled. This makes me sick. How could he get a plea deal???? And that judge ought to be disbarred.

[anitaredford]

I can’t believe he isn’t in prison for at least 20 years or more. This makes me sick.

[virginiakersey]

If he gave his wife this drug 7 times, he should've also been charged with causing harm to her as well as the baby.

[terriallen]

180 What a slap in the face!!! What is wrong with the judge!?!?!

[katelynr]

I thought Texas was all about protecting the unborn?!! Total injustice to let him plea to such a lesser charge.

[Lily-cmnj]

Is this the jerk that was only sentenced to 180 days when he should've received a life sentence??!!! Geez our court system is screwed up! 🙄

[jcr]

Oh my goodness my xhusband did that to me! When I first met him he took all of my bills and paid them! He said “you don’t have to work “ but I wanted to work I’ve always worked I didn’t like staying home 24/7. When I did go back to work my husband would call me nonstop saying that I needed to get home because our daughter was crying for me. She was about a year old and loved her dad I didn’t think she would cry for me if she’s with her dad!
We ended up divorcing and the man I married disappeared! He made it very difficult for me. And he was the one cheating. They are Narcissists and the first thing they do is Love Bombing. It’s one of their tactics. ( Love you Nancy!)

[brendabrazell]

He caused this baby too have all these medical problems .His own child. Why didn't he get charged with attempted murder He tried too kill the mother and the baby .Now the child will not have a normal life thanks too her own Dad. He should be in jail for the rest of his life. For every dollars he makes his wife should get 80 percent for medical bills. The taxpayers should not have too pay for what he did too his own child.

[meganmckissick]

Why weren't attempted murder charges

[TVJunkie]

This is an outrage!!! A female prosecutor and a female judge giving this horrible human a plea deal??? They should be fired and let a real prosecutor and judge do the jobs that they couldn’t!! They better have taken away his law license!!

[Mandaleighloni]

There was absolutely no justice. That judge needs to be held accountable

[dropbear]

7 times! He poisoned her 7 times! Only 180 days in county jail! I'm dead.

[marygoff]

How sad. When pregnant, we are most vulnerable - both physically & mentally. What a betrayal.

[thecastellanosvlogs]

This guy should lose his lawyer license.

[auradawnwinchester]

6 mounths for attemted murder ???? WHAT What the hell was that judge thinking the judge wants sacking

[heather]

If my husband asks me for the divorce, hey where do I sign ?? Pack your things and leave the house. Bye!!!!

[RabbitAndTheLabBestFriends]

Husbands stop cheating its pathetic but the woman who go after a married me. Make me sick

[kelleydorsett]

He said he didn't want to look like a bad guy divorcing his pregnant wife, so he chose to poison her instead, make it make sense

[jennifer]

The punishment does not fit the crime! This is disgusting!
