Mother accused of killing unborn child THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OCEAN CITY, Md. -- Investigators are continuing their search at the home of a mother charged with killing her unborn child, Ocean City police said.
Police would not comment on what investigators were searching for, but said because of the size and complexity of the crime scene they have asked the FBI's Evidence Response Team to assist in collecting evidence.
"Investigators have still not completed their search of the property. They are still actively searching for additional evidence in this case," police said in a statement Sunday.
Christy Freeman, 37, lived in the apartment with her boyfriend and her four other children.
Freeman was hospitalized Thursday and police were called after medical personnel determined she had been pregnant, but the child was missing. Police said they obtained a search warrant for Freeman's home after interviewing her, and a small body was found wrapped in a blanket in the apartment.
Police said Freeman was later charged with first degree murder, second degree murder and manslaughter after investigators conferred with Worcester County State's Attorney Joel Todd.
Freeman, who had an initial appearance Friday evening before a District Court Commissioner, is being held at police headquarters until a bond review hearing Monday morning, police said.
OK - partial birth abortions at a clinic are legal, but doing one at home isn’t ?
I guess the only difference in the license.
I see this as a landmark case.
Huh?
I find this rather confusing, although I know it's customary to charge people with everything but jaywalking, in hopes that *some* charge will stick.
I don't understand the relevance of the addition to the article title. It seems to me that the relevant point is whether this woman killed her baby.
Yeah...you don’t get it because no liberal, rich white woman is going to be charged with murder.
No, I don’t think partial birth abortions are NOT legal (or, of course moral) anywhere. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Oops. Double negative. Cut the NOT. ;-)
And therefore nobody should be? How does that help?
Golly...you're easily confused....
How does a mother kill an “unborn” child that is obviously outside the womb?
Who cares about Michael Vick’s admittedly lower-class dogfighting, and the deaths of 50 or so of those mutts a week.....when 4,000 human BABIES are killed every DAY through abortion?
I guess I care about both. I understand your comment, though.
Ping for later.
No you are correct, but only since April/May of this year.
And of course that’s only if they don’t call it a miscarriage ... and actually prosecute it ...
Good question.
If she is charged with murder...we have ourselves a case....
She’ll be charged and convicted.
- The article says, "she had been pregnant" and "a small body was found wrapped in a blanket in the apartment."
- I don't think they would have charged her if she killed the baby while pregnant and had a still-birth.
- I don't think they would have said "Mother accused of killing unborn child" if she killed the child after a normal full birth.
What's left?
I don't think she could have had the diabolic equipment and skills required to kill the baby at the point of "partial-birth" as required by that barbaric "legal" loophole... BUT did she try anyway and is this what the liberal media is covering it up?
