Alabama woman indicted for manslaughter after miscarrying when shot

An Alabama woman who suffered a miscarriage after being shot last year has been indicted for manslaughter in the loss of the fetus.

Marshae Jones was five months pregnant in December 2018 when, during a fight, Ebony Jemison shot her in the stomach — but a Jefferson County grand jury said the former mom-to-be was responsible because she started the brawl, AL.com reported.

“Let’s not lose sight that the unborn baby is the victim here,’’ said Pleasant Grove Police Lt. Danny Reid.

Initially, police charged Jemison, 23, with manslaughter but the charges were dismissed when a grand jury didn’t indict her.

Even though Jones didn’t fire the shots that killed her unborn baby girl, authorities said she caused the death by initiating the fight.

“It was the mother of the child who initiated and continued the fight which resulted in the death of her own unborn baby,” Reid said.

“[The fetus] had no choice in being brought unnecessarily into a fight where she was relying on her mother for protection.”

Cops said the fight was about the unborn baby’s father.

Jones was taken into custody Wednesday. She will be transferred to Jefferson County Jail and help on $50,000 bond.

Many details left untold. I'm certain that the person who was arrested probably did something stupid which probably put her unborn baby in harm's way and added to the reason why she was arrested.

You had asked what the lady's name was as you were most likely probing the race of the person arrested.

Prosecutor drops charges against Alabama mother who lost pregnancy when shot in Alabama




An Alabama district attorney announced Wednesday that she will not pursue manslaughter charges against a woman who was shot in a fight and lost her fetus.

The decision comes after days of public outcry sparked by the arrest of 28-year-old Marshae Jones last week. She was indicted for allegedly starting the fight despite knowing she was five months' pregnant.

Legal scholars said her arrest raised questions about what other situations, including driving a car, would be considered putting a fetus in danger.

Authorities said the fight was over the fetus’s father. Ebony Jemison, 23, was accused of shooting her in the stomach during the December argument.

Jemison was initially charged with manslaughter, but a Jefferson County grand jury decided not to indict her after police said their investigation revealed that Jones had started the fight, and that Jemison had fired in self-defense.

“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, according to AL.com. “It was the mother of the child who initiated and continued the fight which resulted in the death of her own unborn baby.”

Jones’ attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the charges on Monday, arguing that the state had used a "flawed and twisted rationale" that "ignores the law and ignores reason.”

In the filing, they argued that Jones would not intentionally cause the death of her fetus by initiating a fight, calling the theory "tortured" and "irrational."

On Wednesday, Jefferson County Bessemer Cutoff District Attorney Lynneice Washington said she would not pursue the case.

Alabama recently became the state with the nation’s most stringent anti-abortion law, making an abortion at any stage of pregnancy a felony punishable by 10 to 99 years or life in prison for the provider.

The law does not allow exceptions for pregnancies that are a result of rape or incest.
