Trauma-induced birth killed fetus

Robert Sedler, a constitutional law professor at Wayne State University in Detroit, was quoted on the fetus of a 16-year old girl found buried in Richmond Township. According to Sedler, the teen father of the fetus may face more legal trouble than his girlfriend based on the induced miscarriage when the boyfriend hit the girl in the abdomen with a baseball bat. \"It seems to me they can prosecute this guy,\" Sedler said. \"I don\'t think she can be convicted as an accomplice. She still has to be treated as a victim,\" Sedler said.
