  Homicide Killing Unborn Child   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The legal consequence of this distinction was that causing the death of an unborn child after quickening was regarded as "a great misprision," that is, a misdemeanor, and not homicide, and that causing a miscarriage before quickening was not a punishable offense.
Even if it is shown that a child was born, it may be difficult, depending on the facts and circumstances, to draw the line between a child born alive and a child that died either before or during the process of birth.
Medical testimony revealed that the unborn child was viable and that death resulted from a brain hemorrhage brought on by trauma to the child's head, a result "consistent with seat belt injuries." The court employed statutory construction principles to determine that the statute [FN55] defining "person" to include unborn children applied to the manslaughter statute.

 Defending the Unborn
Because Mohamed’s child was under the age of six, the offense rose from a Class C to a Class B felony.
