    My solution would be to drop the charges, call the woman a *****, and look into taking the kid born alive away from her.

      murder seems excessive. But from what I understand (I got my news from the Tom Leykis show- he's a shock jock type of radio personality), her attitude was pretty ****ty. The reason she refused the c-section was kinda weak.

        But this probably will be a bigger issue in Utah. The Church wants people to procreate, and so.....

        Sigh. Please, no jokes.
        bah! At least you get to have numerous wives who do whatever you say. Your state rules!!

            murder? No. Criminal endangerment of a child, or some sort of manslaughter, is more appropriate.

                Most likely involuntary manslaughter would be a more appropriate charge.
                For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

                  how could it be involuntary? she voluntarily did it

                  That is still too harsh a charge.

                  negligance at the worst.

                    Oops.. that was a typo. Manslaughter can carry a sentence of as little as a few years to life I think.

                      What kind of person would rather see their baby die than to have a scar? Definitely not someone who should be having children. As sad as it is to see an infant die, I think I feel more sorry for the child who was born.

                        "As little" a sentence as life imprisonment? Wow, coming from you that's practically an acquital, Fez.

                          I guess the Utah lawyer community is getting bored. Sheesh.

                            While I personally think the lady should be punished... the story says...
                            The doctors had warned that without a C-section, the twins would probably die, authorities said. A nurse told police Rowland said a Caesarean would “ruin her life” and she would rather “lose one of the babies than be cut like that.”

                            “We are unable to find any reason other than the cosmetic motivations” for the mother’s decision, said Kent Morgan, spokesman for the district attorney.
                            In the first paragraph... the doctor warned that the twins "probably" would die. Medicine isn't an exact science. The twins could have survived, and one did indeed survive.
                            There is also always a risk with surgery... So we are talking about percentages here. Granted, one could argue that the percentages say that she should have had the surgery... but it seems by the second paragraph that she is being charged because of comments made to a nurse.

                            Do I disagree with her choice... YES... But should people be forced to have surgery they don't want... NO!

                            If she had stated that she was afraid of having the surgery, and didn't want to take that risk... this probably wouldn't even be an issue.

                              Murder is one charge too far.
