Not according to that link.

Defense attorney Karen Steinhauser, a former prosecutor and current adjunct professor at the University of Denver, told The Associated Press that suspected gunman James Holmes, 24, will not face an additional charge as result of the miscarriage. She said charges in Colorado apply onto to those "who had been born and alive."

Wow. She'd just lost her father and now not one but two children? That poor woman has my prayers. All of them do. This is so overwhelmingly sad.

Right. In Colorado, homicide charges only apply to people who are living/were born alive. There will still be 12 victims.

Just a little update from the home front.

Life is getting back to normal. Every time I hear emergency vehicles come, especially at night, I think of the tragedy. We are getting back to normal.

This tragedy has sparked more debate on health care than on gun control here. So many of those hurt had minimal or no insurance.

I may go see the memorial for the tragedy. I may take a picture and post if there is interest.
