Dad could be EXECUTED after ‘punching heavily pregnant wife so hard their baby died at 38 days old’
A DAD could be executed after allegedly punching his heavily pregnant wife so hard that their baby died at 38 days old.
Christopher Hundley, 32, has been charged with reckless murder of his son Adriel.
Adriel Hundley died from injuries that he sustained in the womb, reported.
Police said that Hundley allegedly punched his pregnant wife in the stomach.
The baby was delivered, but was placed on life support and died in hospital on August 11.
Following the baby's birth, Hundley appeared to create a fundraising page begging for donations to "help our family."
The only sentences for capital murder are life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty.
Chief Assistant District Attorney C.J. Robinson told the outlet: "Capital murder charges are definitely on the table. We will go where the evidence takes us.
"As the investigation continues we will be preparing the case for presentation to a future session of the Autauga County Grand Jury.
"Upgraded charges could very well come out of the grand jury, if the investigation supports a capital element."
