Default Re: Ore. woman indicted in death of pregnant woman (AP)

Korena Roberts, 27, had been facing a lesser murder charge before a grand jury indicted her Monday on four counts of the more serious charges, which carry a potential death penalty.

Prosecutors had been reviewing evidence to determine whether Roberts could also be charged with the June 5 death of the baby boy.

But Oregon law requires a showing that a baby draw at least one breath to survive briefly outside the womb before any separate charge can be considered.

Washington County District Attorney Bob Hermann said an autopsy and interviews with emergency workers found no evidence the baby had survived.
