Showing Original Post only (View all)Alabama Woman Indicted After Someone Else Shoots Her in the Stomach, Killing Her Unborn Child [View all]
An Alabama woman who was shot in the stomach, resulting in the death of her unborn child, was indicted on a manslaughter charge by a grand jury. The reason? She started the dispute that led to her getting shot.
Initially, police charged 23-year-old Ebony Jemison for shooting 27-year-old Marshae Jones in December of 2018 outside a Dollar General in Birmingham. But according to AL.com, a police investigation determined that it wasnt Jemison who was to blame for the shootingit was Jones, for starting it:
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.
Reid added that the fight began over the unborn babys father, and that the investigation found that Jamison was defending herself.

And so it begins.... where will it stop
She wore high heels and fell over?
She had a glass of wine?
She continued to work?
She continued to drive a car?
etc et al
Effectively if you are pregnant in Alabama wrap yourself in cotton wool, or live in fear...cause you never know. It is outrageous!

OP
Shooting a woman isn't considered manslaughter, but being pregnant while shot is?
