Apparently Some People DON'T Think You Should Be Charged With Manslaughter For Getting Shot In The Stomach

How bad? Worse than the New York Mets bad.

Marshae Jones

The New York Mets in their worst season didn’t have as many errors as this indictment.

— Mark White, of White Arnold & Dowd, representing Marshae Jones told AL.com he will be filing a motion to dismiss the charges against his client. Jones’s criminal case rose to national prominence when Alabama indicted her for her fetus’s death after she was shot and the charges against the shooter were dropped. Jones’s case has been a source of outrage for those that see this as a dystopian extension of Alabama’s anti-choice laws. White went on to say “It appears that someone who should’ve been objective decided to frame the narrative for their own personal political reasons.” He also noted Jones’s case was an “unprecedented, inappropriate charge that is not permitted under that the law in Alabama.”
