Parents who authoritiies say buried a fetus are not likely to be charged.
Yesterday, investigators found evidence that a fetus was buried in a vacant lot near Fairhope at least a year ago.Baldwin County District Attorney David Whetstone says he won't try to prosecute the parents, who now live out of the area, if evidence shows the fetus wasn't killed.Authorities are looking into whether foul play was involved or if the parents were trying to give the fetus a proper burial because it was miscarried or stillborn.
While that may violate certain laws and certain health regulations and certain laws relating to trespass, we would not pursue these cases unless we found criminal intent."
Evidence found buried in the lot is being analyzed at a forensics lab.Whetstone says lab results may be complete in the next few days. Article Link
