Showing Original Post only (View all)Woman indicted in shooting death of her unborn child; charges against shooter dismissed [View all]
https://www.al.com/news/birmingham/2019/06/woman-indicted-in-shooting-death-of-her-unborn-child-charges-against-shooter-dismissed.htmlA woman whose unborn baby was killed in a 2018 Pleasant Grove shooting has now been indicted in the death.
Marshae Jones, a 27-year-old Birmingham woman, was indicted by a Jefferson County grand jury on a manslaughter charge. She was taken into custody on Wednesday.
Though Jones didnt fire the shots that killed her unborn baby girl, authorities say she initiated the dispute that led to the gunfire. Police initially charged 23-year-old Ebony Jemison with manslaughter, but the charge against Jemison was dismissed after the grand jury failed to indict her.

The investigation showed that the only true victim in this was the unborn baby, Pleasant Grove police Lt. Danny Reid said at the time of the shooting. It was the mother of the child who initiated and continued the fight which resulted in the death of her own unborn baby.

The hypotheticals I see posed on here sometimes are already realities for those on the margins.

OP
You said it. How would she know a fight would lead to gunplay? Prosecutor is grasping for charges.
