Ohio Woman Cleared of Charges After Miscarriage at Home

A grand jury in Ohio declined to indict Brittany Watts, who had been charged with abuse of corpse after miscarrying a nonviable fetus at home, a case that had drawn international attention. Watts, who had been arrested in October, was relieved by the decision, and her lawyer expressed hope that her story would lead to positive change. The case had sparked debate among lawyers and reproductive health advocates, who argued that the charge was baseless and could set a dangerous precedent.
