What complications of proof might arise in prosecuting an individual for killing an unborn fetus?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but students might argue that:
• Proving fetus was alive prior to infliction of fatal wound might prove to be difficult.
• Depending on the surrounding circumstances, proving that defendant's conduct was the cause of fetus' death might be a challenge.
• Forensic examination of a fetus would be more difficult than examination of adult victim.
• Defense might argue that mother's conduct after the infliction of the wound was intervening cause that produced fetus' death.
