In the latest case, Chris Watts is facing multiple counts of murder in the deaths of his pregnant wife, Shanann, 34, and two daughters, Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3 — but what about the Watts' unborn child? COLORADO MAN CHARGED WITH MULTIPLE COUNTS OF MURDER IN KILLINGS OF PREGNANT WIFE, DAUGHTERSColorado is not among the 38 states with fetal homicide laws, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. "These laws are considered different than fetal homicide laws because they do not create a separate criminal charge for the loss of the fetus," the NCSL states on its website. "The laws in these states consider the loss of or harm to a fetus in relation to the pregnant woman or her pregnancy." This is the second major case that has sparked a debate about fetal homicide laws — and whether the state should adopt it.
