One idiot judge. The prosecutor's office had no interest in pursuing this, but the fucking cops and one idiot judge is what caused this to move forward.

The hospital notified the Warren City Police Department about the miscarriage and “the need to locate the fetus,” according to a coroner’s report.

I don't really understand what the hospital was hot about. She had been there for premature rupture of membranes and they didn't want to do surgical intervention. Why they felt the need to call the cops because they wanted the fetus, even if she left AMA, is beyond me. If she wanted to go home because they wouldn't offer a d and c and wanted her to pass it naturally, then let her go home.

Edit: sounds like her nursing staff called the cops after she went AMA, which is incredibly fucking annoying to me, as a nurse. It's within a patients rights to decline our care, particularly when it's ineffectual. You warn her that she could hemmorage and let her go home.

I honestly hope she sues that fucking hospital.
