28-year-old William Kelly is the first person charged under New Hampshire's fetal homicide law. He is accused of causing the death of pregnant woman Christine Falzone and her unborn child through multiple blunt force injuries. This marks the first time someone has been charged with murder in New Hampshire for the death of a fetus, following a 2017 law that defines a fetus at 20 weeks of development and beyond as a person for criminal prosecution purposes of murder. Kelly faces two counts of second-degree murder and is being held without bail, with a potential trial date set for 2025.
