South Dakota 強姦 事例/患者 実験(する)s police seizure of placenta

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - The South Dakota 最高裁判所 will be asked to decide whether police 調査/捜査するing the possible statutory 強姦 of a 15-year-old girl needed a 令状 to 掴む a placenta or other 構成要素s discarded after an abortion.

It's a tricky question in South Dakota, where strict 法律s discourage abortion and many 政治家,政治屋s 見解(をとる) fetuses as equal to fully formed humans. A 副 明言する/公表する's 弁護士/代理人/検事 argues in this 事例/患者 that the (刑事)被告 can have no 期待 of privacy in 医療の remains and that tissue resulting from an abortion is 簡単に waste, 合法的に the same as 世帯 garbage.

The 十代の少年少女 from 早い City, South Dakota, traveled nearly 400 miles (650 キロメーターs) to a clinic in Denver to have an abortion in May 2018, the 早い City 定期刊行物 報告(する)/憶測d. During the course of that 手続き, the teen について言及するd that she had been 15 when she became 妊娠している by her 25-year-old boyfriend. The age of 同意 in South Dakota is 16. The 明言する/公表する's only abortion clinic is in Sioux 落ちるs.

The clinic 報告(する)/憶測d the possible 強姦 to Denver police, who turned over a 見本 of the placenta to a 早い City 探偵,刑事 in June that year. デオキシリボ核酸 実験(する)s 確認するd that the boyfriend, Nathan Hankins, could not be 除外するd as the father, and he was 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金d in September with fourth-degree 強姦.

A clinic 労働者 told the 探偵,刑事, Ryan Gebhard, that he didn't need a 令状 to collect the 見本 because it was considered 医療の waste and was 存在 used in a 犯罪の 調査, によれば a 簡潔な/要約する とじ込み/提出するd by Lara Roetzel, 長,指導者 副 明言する/公表する's 弁護士/代理人/検事 for Pennington 郡.

Hankins' 弁護 team argued that taking the placenta without a 令状 侵害する/違反するd his Fourth 改正 権利s against 不当な searches and seizures. While he 認可するd of the abortion and knew the clinic would 得る and 配置する/処分する/したい気持ちにさせる of the remains, that didn't mean he 推定する/予想するd or 同意d for the 構成要素 to be 手渡すd over to the police, 弁護士/代理人/検事 Martha Rossiter said.

"It really should shock people" that police officers can take 団体/死体 parts without a 令状 the way they can take 証拠 from a trash can on a public sidewalk, Rossiter said.

Last week, 裁判官 Jeff Davis 拒絶するd a 弁護 動議 to throw out the placenta 証拠, 説 the 証拠 was 得るd in keeping with Colorado 法律s and 医療の practices.

Rossiter said the 弁護 will 控訴,上告 Davis' 決定/判定勝ち(する) to the South Dakota 最高裁判所.

The 検察官,検事 and 弁護 弁護士/代理人/検事 said they weren't aware of any other South Dakota 事例/患者 that has used a placenta as 証拠, but the 検察官,検事 公式文書,認めるd that one of the Colorado officers 証言するd that he's taken placenta 見本s about 12 times without a 令状, and that those seizures have never been challenged in 法廷,裁判所.

"To believe that society does not 高く評価する/(相場などが)上がる some 期待 of privacy in 医療の remains would be shocking ... this is not analogous to leaving a cup in the trash on the 味方する of the road," the 弁護 lawyers wrote in a 簡潔な/要約する.

Roetzel said Colorado 法律 and U.S. 最高裁判所 判決,裁定s make it (疑いを)晴らす that fathers have no 権利 to 妨げる or be 通知するd of an abortion, and therefore fathers have no 支配(する)/統制する over or privacy 利益/興味s in the results of an abortion.
