Judge reverses Millner conviction over feticide gap in Virginia law
Richmond Circuit Court Judge William Spain voided Marguerite Millner's involuntary manslaughter conviction for the newborn found dead in a restaurant commode. He urged the General Assembly to close the feticide loophole, noting the state must prove birth alive and independent existence. Millner had been imprisoned for 21 days awaiting sentencing. A separate report discusses Virginia Maryland Railroad considering future funding and potential cuts as subsidies end in 1981.
