I just read this.
Utah Code Ann. §§ 76-5-201, et seq. declares that a person commits criminal homicide if he intentionally, knowingly, recklessly, causes the death of another human being, including an unborn child.
Utah considers any stage of pregnancy to be a viable fetus under the law - so this would be a double homicide.

Confliction about the "apartment rage killing" evidence information, according to CTV and a Utah reporter, a detective on the case says they have no indication or evidence of a RAGE killing or anything like that. Say absolutely not. (What to believe?)
Has anyone talked about her purse? If she drove her car for the "jog", then she must have had her car keys with her and locked her purse in the car?

Good research job, Spunky. However, if you flip back to post 164, you'll see that section (1)(b) does the same thing as the section you've quoted but without the intentionality or conscious knowledge provision. This is fortunate for prosecution, since it appears from the accounts that Hacking didn't know about Lori's pregnancy, that she was going to tell him at a later time. To be sure, she may have told him just prior to her murder, but somehow I doubt he would be admitting that. Under the circumstances, I can't say I would blame him for keeping yet another secret like this.
