They didn’t charge the shooter. They blame the mother for the death since she fought the other woman. What the fuck??? I thought the laws were fucked up but this takes the cake.
If a man wants his pregnant woman to abort the child and she refuses, he can legally shoot the unborn child dead and no charges will be filed. Attempted murder seems a good thing to charge someone with if they shoot a pregnant woman in the stomach!
How do other countries’ citizens feel about this?
I came here to post the story.
The Yellowhammer Fund, which helps women who are unable to afford an abortion or the costs of travel, said Jones' indictment is ridiculous.
"Marshae Jones is being charged with manslaughter for being pregnant and getting shot while engaging in an altercation with a person who had a gun," Executive Director Amanda Reyes said in a statement.
"The state of Alabama has proven yet again that the moment a person becomes pregnant their sole responsibility is to produce a live, healthy baby and that it considers any action a pregnant person takes that might impede in that live birth to be a criminal act."
According to Alabama law, manslaughter happens when:
-- A person recklessly causes the death of another person; or
-- A person causes the death of another person under circumstances that would constitute murder, "except that he or she causes the death due to a sudden heat of passion caused by provocation recognized by law, and before a reasonable time for the passion to cool and for reason to reassert itself."
Manslaughter is a Class B felony, punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
Jemison, the accused shooter, initially faced a charge of manslaughter, AL.com reported. But a grand jury declined to indict the 23-year-old.
Neither the Pleasant Grove Police Department nor the Jefferson County district attorney's office have responded to CNN's requests for comment.
