Maybe it depends on the state where the crime happened. I do know that Scott Peterson was convicted of murdering both his wife Laci and their unborn son. So yes you can be charged and convicted with killing an unborn child. This episode sound so sad. |

^o) Let's see if I can predict Tom/Sell - Caroline's alzheimer storyline will help get Jennifer free when Caroline has a moment of clarity and tells what she heard. And as much as I hate to admit this Jennifer should be charged with manslaughter not murder, Murder means you premeditated the death, manslaughter means you accidently killed someone. Jeez I know it's a soap but stupid little things just irk me. So glad Tom/Sell killed a baby to give Dannifer their much needed angst. :wow: IT is me or didn't Corday say a while back that there would be no more dead babies, or hurting of children for plot purposes, as usual a man of his word. |

Aren't they supposed to try and resusitate the baby? CPR? That's just weird that they immediately pronounce him dead. Poor Nicole. :'( |

I think this episode clearly shows nicoles baby is dead with little to no loop holes for him to come back alive. As sad as it is az has been amazing and im sure will continue to be through this storyline. Im hoping her accusation that jen meant to push her doesnt last long. I want this to be a storyline that deeply affects nicole personally and it not all be a big lie. I think her coming clean and accepting the loss could be some much needed character growth. Nicole deserves some happiness but the only way to achieve that is for her to get her self together and love herself. Im excited for eric to come back and hopefully they can reconnect maybe even be salems next big super couple. And i know nicole cant adopt but later on this could be a good story for her to finally be in a committed ed relationship and adopt a child

At this point Eric can't help Nicole, they are trying their hardest to make her hated by all, once it comes out that the baby was dead before this she won't have a friend of any kind in Salem. Not even EJ will be on her side, Day's has made them both pariah's only difference is EJ actually has family that will back him, Nicole has no one. Eric will come back and try to help her and at every turn someone will call her a conniving bitch, whore, porn star, slut, etc, etc, etc |

Tomlin won't let it happen, Nicole has grown up until this pregancy she had alot of growth as a character and in the past year all that has been erased. |

Yeah, but the state has to make a legislative change to their laws to make that happen. Feticide don't automatically fall into the murder category because they aren't "persons" under the law and it's a violation of someone's rights for adequate notice of the law. Let's hope Justin actually mentions that. Please soap writers, don't make me go crazy over this. All I need is one line: "In Salem, the killing of a fetus is a felony/murder" or at least mention the Unborn Victims of Violence Act. |

The only thing Caroline could say is that she saw and heard Jennifer screaming at Nicole in a threatening way. (I can't remember Jennifer's exact words, but they certainly wouldn't be in ANY way exonerating .) She even told Jennifer to come with her to the pub and she'd give her tea with a shot of rum, presumably to calm her down from her rage. I wish no one would believe her that she didn't push Nicole. I can't stand the way she treated Jack and is now totally ignoring the fact that she is supposed to be grieving him. I can't stand her obsessing over Daniel instead of Jack's loss. I just plain can't stand her at ALL anymore. IF they brought MA back and wrote something that worked getting them back together and Jenn becoming herself again, I could go for it. Otherwise, she isn't even recognizable as Jennifer Rose Horton. |

Yes, a few cases have made national news. Usually someone kills pregnant mom too. And then they are charged with two counts of murder. |

Yeah, that's a pretty big hole in the script. I guess the writers forgot that only Nicole knows that the baby died during the pregnancy. And, yeah, one can't get arrested for causing a death of a fetus. Edit: Actually, you can, as the post above shows. But, I don't think one can get arrested for causing a miscarriage.

Losing a full term baby is not a miscarriage, it is a still birth. I think most states would call this some kind of manslaughter, not murder. |

I think it would be considered manslaughter but im not sure. Either way its nicoles word against jens. Billie and brady seen nicole fall but not jen push her so the case would hardly stand up in court |

Am I the only one reading the Kristen scenes? Lol. That's the only scenes I care enough about to read ahead of watching. Can't wait!! I still have nearly four hours till I can watch today's eppi. My only question....are they going to address the fact that everyone in Salem thinks she's dead?!?!? |

I think you're thinking about this: So ISTM that he thinks telling dead baby stories is something Days can do, because they're not afraid of breaking the rules. ^o)
Wouldn't those laws on the page count as a legislative change, though? Glad we have you here to share your expertise, JB. :) |

Assault and/or involuntary manslaughter. Intolerable as I find Jennifer these days, I'll concede she did not intend to harm the baby. Doesn't there have to be premeditation or malicious intent established before anyone can call it murder? |
