ELKTON, Md. -- Lawyers for a doctor accused of killing a fetus during a late-term abortion are asking to inspect specimens of that fetus.
Lawyers for 46-year-old Dr. Nicola Riley of Salt Lake City, Utah, made that request on Jan. 27 in a motion filed in Cecil County Circuit Court. Riley and 55-year-old Dr. Steven Brigham of Voorhees, N.J., have been charged with murder in the death of a fetus.
The Cecil Whig reports that Riley's charges relate to an alleged victim identified as Male Fetus Brewer. Prosecutors allege the fetus was viable. (http://bit.ly/z591S3)
Stuart O. Simms, one of Riley's lawyers, filed the motion asking a judge to order the State Medical Examiner's Office to allow an expert to inspect any specimens identified as Male Fetus Brewer.
