When David Miller, 24, the first man to be charged under Maryland?s new fetal homicide law, was arraigned Monday in Baltimore County Circuit Court, he wasn?t just facing a prosecutor from an office known for its aggressiveness. He was facing the top prosecutor from that office.

Baltimore County State?s Attorney Scott Shellenberger is personally handling the charges against  Miller, a married man accused of shooting his pregnant girlfriend at a Parkville shopping center ? killing her and their unborn child.
