The pregnant wife of the cop charged in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man in South Carolina has spent the past few months preparing for their first child.
"Burp clothes for a fraction of the cost!!" Jamie Slager, 35, wrote on social media with instructions for do-it-yourself baby clothes a week before the fatal police shooting.
Her husband, former police officer Michael Slager, 33, has been charged with the murder of Walter Scott, 50, after video footage surfaced showing him shooting at Scott eight times.
The patrolman had originally pulled Scott over for a broken taillight — but Scott took off running and Slager eventually pulled his gun and allegedly shot the man.
The former cop now faces 30 years to life in prison if convicted. He's being held without bail until his next court appearance on Aug. 21 — three months after his wife is to give birth to a boy.

"They worked so hard for this baby," Karen Sharpe, Slager's mother, told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Friday.
"He would go to all the appointments, be there for all the OB appointments. He had to miss [an appointment] today, I went with his wife. She was just so sad because he was not there. I know he would not do something purposely to not be with his wife during the delivery," Sharpe said through tears.
A baby registry for the couple at stores like Babies R Us and Target show the couple had picked out hundreds of items in preparation.
One bib bought by a friend of the family reads: "Tough like daddy." Another says: "My dad is cooler than your dad."
Although Slager has been fired from the force, the city has said it will still cover the insurance costs of his wife's delivery, a North Charleston city councilman announced in a local news column.
"Their joyful anticipation is now transformed to a gripping uncertainty about their family's future," Ron Brinson wrote, adding the whole incident has been "a dagger to my city's spiritual heart."
