Overview

• Judge Amy McFarland granted prosecutors’ request to hold Emerson Evans, 31, in custody pending trial after a hearing on Monday.
• Evans faces two counts of intentional homicide of an unborn child, a charge comparable to first-degree murder that reports say could carry up to 60 years if proven.
• Bloomington police say officers responded Friday evening to a medical emergency and the pregnant woman later experienced complications and a miscarriage.
• According to court records cited by local media, Evans initially denied wrongdoing before admitting he gave the woman mifepristone he said he bought for $50.
• The investigation is ongoing, and while some outlets describe how multiple pills may have been used, those specifics have not been confirmed in official records.
