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 held on $50,000 bond.

I detect that one analysis you make upon meeting someone-anyone- in person is a 'subconscious danger analysis.'
Same here.
I imagine that's why LM appears to favor moi, vous, et the other RC, which, of her sundry idiosyncrasies, I am happy to have noticed.

P.s., SS Chi-town? I bet you're fair at playing pool.
Around here, kids from poor towns, like me, are players, the rest, be they tourists or 'rich enclave' locals, as suckers.
