Police arrested and charged a father and son early Thursday in connection with the murder of a pregnant teenager who was about to give birth, and her boyfriend, in San Antonio last month.

Christopher Preciado, 19, was charged with capital murder while his father, 53-year-old Ramon Preciado, was charged with abuse of a corpse for allegedly helping to move the bodies of Savanah Soto, 18, and Matthew Guerra, 22, who were found shot dead in a car.

A conviction for capital murder is punishable by the death penalty or life imprisonment.

San Antonio Police Department confirmed the charges in a statement and said more charges are pending, possibly relating to the death of the unborn child.

I missed one law and found the earlier attempt that failed. 2004 certainly isn't always unless you are 15.

That's just it on the federal level, you somehow managed to miss the "In the U.S., 38 states have laws with more harsh penalties if the victim is murdered while pregnant.", I guess you struggle with reading. Those laws didn't pop up recently, either. And those laws mandate an extra charge, in almost all cases, it results in two murder charges even in states where it's not specifically mandated.
