'Unlawful and illegal detention'

Florida attorney William M. Norris recently filed an emergency request to the state's Third District Court of Appeals, arguing pregnant Natalia Harrell's incarceration is "unlawful," as a "fetus’ incarceration is a violation of his rights guaranteed by the U.S. and Florida constitutions," Miami Herald reports.
Per Miami Herald, Harrell was "arrested and charged with second-degree murder" in Miami-Dade County at six weeks pregnant last July, following a "fatal quarrel" in an Uber. 
The 24-year-old, according to NBC Miami, has now been pregnant for about eight months, and while imprisoned, the baby "has received inadequate prenatal care while Harrell has been held without bond," which Miami Herald notes "could even set a precedent amid a legal system navigating complex arguments in a post-Roe world."
