- Eight weeks after an Alabama grand jury indicted a woman for manslaughter over the loss of her fetus in a shooting she was accused of provoking, a state district attorney’s office said on Friday it was still considering whether to prosecute the case.
Quoting from the state’s definition of manslaughter, the indictment goes on to assert that “said death” occurred 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.” The grand jury, according to the D.A.’s office, determined that Jemison had “acted in self-defense and did not warrant charges against her, and that Ms. Jones should face charges for her actions resulting in the death of her unborn child.”
The Yellowhammer Fund, an Alabama-based advocacy group that provides financial assistance to women seeking abortions in the state, has decried Jones’ arrest.
