Lawyer argues fetus of jailed pregnant woman is being illegally detained
"A lawyer’s attempt to have his pregnant client released from jail ahead of trial by arguing that her fetus has been subject to “unlawful and illegal detention” could have profound consequences for the rights of women in Florida.
Attorney William M Norris filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of the “unborn child” of Natalia Harrell in Florida’s third district court of appeal on 16 February, the Miami Herald first reported.
The filing argues that the fetus “is a person under the Florida constitution and the United States constitution” and therefore has the right to due process.
“The unborn child has not been charged with a criminal offense by respondents or the Miami Dade state attorney’s office, yet respondents have unborn child in a detention center known as TGK in Miami Dade county, Florida,” the filing states."
