Brittany Watts, 34, faced a felony charge for abuse of a corpse after she miscarried into a toilet at her home on Sept. 22. A grand jury decided on Thursday to not criminally indict Watts on the charge. 

“No matter how shocking or disturbing it may sound when presented in a public forum, it is simply the devastating reality of miscarriage,” said Watts’ attorney Traci Timko in a statement. “While the last three months have been agonizing, we are incredibly grateful and relieved that justice was handed down by the grand jury today.”
