I guess this could be considered a good deed…if you support criminal activity.
A federal prison guard was charged on Tuesday for having an illegal affair with an inmate who was convicted of fatally shooting a New York police officer.

Nancy Gonzalez, 29, is now pregnant with Ronell Wilson’s child and sources are saying not only was she in love with the dude, but she got pregnant to hopefully save him from the death penalty and to keep his legacy going.
The New York Daily News reports that, during Wilson’s 2007 trial for killing the undercover detectives, prosecutors introduced a letter he wrote to another inmate that read, “I just need a baby before this pigz try to take my life. I need to have something behind me.”
Wilson, 30, was a young gang member on Staten Island when he was convicted in the point-blank shootings of undercover officers James Nemorin and Rodney Andrews. He was sentenced to death, but the sentence was thrown out in 2010 by an appeals court based on prosecutorial error. However, he could still face the death penalty; the replay of the trial’s penalty phase has been put off as Wilson’s lawyers seek to convince a judge that he’s ineligible for the death penalty because he’s mentally disabled.
Enter Gonzalez.
While working the night shift at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, Gonzalez was seen by other inmates going in and out of Wilson’s cell starting in March, meeting him in a vacant activity room next to his cell when other inmates were supposed to be sleeping.
“I took a chance because I was so vulnerable and wanted to be loved and now I am carrying his child,” Gonzalez said, according to court papers.
She said she “kind of got sucked into his world,” and that she “felt like, well, why not give him a child as far as giving him some kind of hope.”
She confessed her relationship with Wilson to another boyfriend, who was also an inmate!
“I know what’s to come. I know what is going to be said about me,” she said, according to court papers. “How am I going to explain this to this little boy? Mommy was in the military … Mommy was a C.O., Mommy got wrapped up … And then the opposite end is with a person who took lives. So how do you explain that?”
After Gonzalez became pregnant, Wilson’s mother made contact, requesting a sonogram photo. Gonzalez said she was worried about the calls because she feared authorities would catch her.

And they did. She appeared in court Tuesday visibly pregnant and crying, her hair pulled back in a ponytail, and was released on $150,000 bond.
“She’s had a very tragic life,” said her attorney, Anthony Rico. “She has long-term issues that affected her life and judgment.”
Gonzalez now faces 15 years in prison. As for Wilson, it is still unclear whether or not he will receive the death penalty again.
WHOA! Wait, we’re still trying to wrap our head around this whole situation. CRAZY!
Should the prison guard get more time or less for having an affair with an inmate?
