A WOMAN who killed her pregnant friend and stole her unborn baby from her womb was heard complaining about her treatment behind bars while awaiting trial in a series of jail calls.

The case of Taylor Parker has left Netflix viewers horrified after the murder was the focus of the documentary, Maternal Instinct.

Parker savagely attacked 21-year-old Reagan Simmons-Hancock with a hammer before stabbing her more than 100 times.

She then used a scalpel to perform a C-section and fled with the baby girl, Braxlynn Sage.

Parker pretended she had given birth at the side of the road before being rushed to a hospital.

The baby tragically died despite desperate medical efforts, and Parker was arrested and handcuffed after being interrogated.

She was later found guilty of capital murder and sentenced to death.

While the documentary featured heartbreaking interviews with Reagan’s family and Parker’s ex-boyfriend, Wade Griffin, it revealed little about how the trial played out or what happened behind the scenes.

Parker was arrested on October 9, 2020, and held in Bowie County Jail, where she regularly phoned her mother, Shona Prior.

The pair had a rocky relationship, but Prior supported Parker financially after her arrest and is believed to remain in contact with her.

The U.S. Sun has obtained a selection of jail calls from 2021 and 2022 that prosecutors later used to argue Parker’s apparent lack of remorse and narcissistic tendencies.

In one call, she is heard talking about not being able to wear makeup during court proceedings.

Discussing a member of her legal team, her mom says, “So did she say anything to you about makeup?

“Did you say anything to her about makeup? Because she doesn’t think that makeup is going to be an option for you.”

Parker, now 33, says someone in her team was “taking care of it.”

Her mom, backing her, tells her, “So the thing about it is if they try to discriminate you as a person, that will work in your favor in the long run because they’re not giving you a fair chance.

“You know, they’re wanting you to look like a homeless criminal.

“They’re not wanting you to look like a human because that would be beneficial to you and detrimental to them.”

Parker agrees and goes on to complain about the proceedings.

In one call, Parker becomes emotional while talking about her two children, but her mother offers little sympathy.

The grandmother is now Parker’s daughter’s full-time guardian, while her son is in the care of her ex-husband, the boy’s biological dad.

Parker reveals that she was upset her ex-husband won’t let her speak to her son and that she has to fight to get him on the phone.

“Mom, that really upsets me,” she says, through tears.

Prior fires back, “I’m sure it does, but you know what? I hate to say this, but if you’d have been thinking about the children that you had on earth, you might not be in the situation you’re in.
