Article content
Things are coming up roses for convicted baby killer Autumn Cordellione.
A federal judge has ruled that the state of Indiana must cover the cost of her gender-transition surgery. The ACLU filed the lawsuit claiming the murderer had been subjected to “cruel and unusual punishment.”

Indiana had previously denied Cordellione’s request for the surgery. In addition, Cordellione now also identifies as Muslim and is demanding to be allowed to wear the hijab wherever she goes.
Formerly known as Jonathan C. Richardson, she was serving a 55-year prison sentence for strangling her 11-month-old stepdaughter to death in September 2001.
She told shocked detectives that she killed “the little f***ing b**ch.”
United States District Court Judge Richard Young sympathized and ordered the Department of Corrections to provide Cordellione with the reassignment surgery at the earliest opportunity.
“Today marks a significant victory for transgender individuals in Indiana’s prisons,” ACLU of Indiana’s Legal Director, Ken Falk, said in a statement.
“Denying evidence-based medical care to incarcerated people simply because they are transgender is unconstitutional. We are pleased that the Court agreed.”
The judge called the surgery “medically necessary” and denying the trans killer care violated her rights.
“Ms. Cordellione has shown that injunctive relief is necessary,” the woke judge opined. “There is no dispute that gender dysphoria is a serious medical condition under the objective prong.”
The jurist fretted that without the surgery Cordellione may attempt to castrate “herself” or commit suicide.
Cordellione reportedly suffers from depression and borderline personality disorder.
After being caged, Cordellione began identifying as transgender and started taking synthetic estrogen and anti-androgen spironolactone, according to Reduxx.
On the killer’s wish list? A vagina, breast implants, a brow lift and reduction, a tummy tuck, gluteal implants, a uterus transplant, hair removal, and wigs, Reduxx reports.
But the judge wasn’t playing full-on Santa Claus and is only ordering a procedure that lops off Cordellione’s testicles along with a vaginoplasty.
Cordellione remains caged in a men’s prison and could be sprung as early as August 2026. She remains at war with prison officials over wearing the hijab.
“I informed him that I wear the hajib [sic] in order to cover my head and ears for modesty purposes, as I am an Islamic practicing transwoman,” Cordellione said in the suit filed Nov. 30.
