""I think that charge is extremely problematic," Blackerby said during a hearing that the woman, Alexia Moore, attended virtually. "That is going to be a hard charge to convict upon.""
""Whatever bond the defendant can make that will allow her to get out of jail is appropriate," District Attorney Higgins stated, indicating his uncertainty about the murder charge against Moore."
""It's mind-blowing that she got charged with that over something like this," a friend of the woman said, reflecting the community's shock at the severity of the charges."
A Georgia judge set bail at $1 for Alexia Moore, charged with murder after taking abortion pills. Judge Blackerby questioned the validity of the charge, stating it would be difficult to convict. District Attorney Higgins also expressed doubt about the case, noting that the charges were brought without his support. Moore had been jailed for two weeks before the hearing, facing charges of malice murder and possession of a controlled substance after experiencing severe abdominal pain following her medication abortion.
