A judge tossed a felony assault charge against a Pennsylvania woman who overdosed on heroin while pregnant — giving her unborn child brain damage.

Kasey Dischman, 31, overdosed on June 23 at a house in East Butler while she was seven months pregnant. She went into cardiac arrest, then a coma, which resulted in doctors having to perform a cesarean section.

Dischman was facing a charge for felony assault after her child was brain damaged due to her drug use, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported. However, Butler County Common Pleas Judge William Shaffer threw out the charge because he said it’s against state law.
