5:19Now Playing"A Mississippi judge ruled on Thursday that the state has no legitimate murder case against a 24-year-old woman who gave birth to a stillborn baby after using cocaine during her pregnancy.
Rennie Gibbs was a teenager in 2006 when her baby was born dead with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. While no actual cocaine was found in the baby's blood, an autopsy turned up "traces of a cocaine byproduct." Mississippi state prosecutors indicted Gibbs for "depraved-heart murder," a second-degree murder charge used for crimes that demonstrate a "callous disregard for human life" and result in death. Gibbs was facing a possible life sentence.
Gibbs' case is part of a wave of "fetal harm" cases in which women are prosecuted when their babies are born with traces of drugs in their system."* Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Michael Shure and John Iadarola break it down on The Young Turks.
