SNOW HILL, Md. — A woman once accused of killing her newborn child and keeping three older sets of fetal remains at her home threatened to sue county authorities yesterday, saying they rushed to judgment after the remains were found.

Authorities dropped the charges against Christy Freeman, 37, on Wednesday after they determined there was not enough evidence to prosecute her.

Ms. Freeman and her longtime boyfriend, Ray Godman, spoke briefly to reporters yesterday and thanked those who supported them. In a statement, the couple said the deaths of the babies were miscarriages and that authorities should have waited for medical reports before charging her.

“If an investigation had been done Miss Freeman would have never been charged with anything,” the statement read. “When it’s all said and done, the reality of this situation is Miss Freeman had four miscarriages over a period of five years.”

It also said the couple’s business, a classic car taxi service, had suffered damage because of press attention surrounding the case and that it could have been avoided if investigators hadn’t “rushed to judgment.”

Ms. Freeman had been held in jail without bond since July, when she went to a hospital with heavy bleeding and doctors discovered she had recently given birth.

Investigators found the baby — and three more sets of tiny human remains — at Ms. Freeman’s house in Ocean City.
