Wait, I thought felony charges had to come from the DA. How are the police able to just pick someone up and charge them with a felony?
I thought that too...
But it also Georgia. So they're likely doing whatever the fuck they want anyway regardless of the law. Especially now they've got federal fascist backing.
This judge:


Pre-jury-nullification says what?
According to court records, Moore went to a hospital in December last year with abdominal pain and told medical staff she had taken misoprostol, a drug used in medication abortions, along with oxycodone.
Authorities said medical records estimated Moore was between 22 and 24 weeks pregnant and investigators say the fetus survived for about an hour after delivery at the hospital.
I didn't expect her to be that far along the pregnancy, but regardless, fuck that hospital for snitching on her. Sounds like she got 2 drug charges on top of the bs fetus murder charge too.
It's a shame, it sounds like she would have made a great mother.
We really need to revisit the 8th amendment.
