Evans wants Murder Charge of her infant Dropped

Brittany Evans, 28, is charged with second degree murder in the death of her newborn baby as well as assault which resulted in the death of the baby and two counts of aggravated assault. Authorities allege that the baby lived a very short time after she was born on April 3, 2015.
The attorney for the woman accused of killing her new born baby is asking that the charges be dismissed.
Prosecutors allege that Evans took methamphetamines while pregnant and even took some the day before the little girl was born.
According to Coffee County District Attorney Craig Northcott the body of the child was transported to the State Medical Examiner’s Office where an autopsy was performed to determine the cause of death. The District attorney says that the autopsy showed that the baby had a high level of meth in her system and that was the cause of death.
Both attorneys filed motions in regards to the case and Judge Jackson will review the arguments and issue a ruling later.
