A Fayette County Grand Jury

has declined to indict a local man on charges that he caused the death

of two unborn children by striking the mother in the abdomen.

Although the grand jury no-billed

Michael Antonio Glass on the two feticide charges, it did return indictments

for him on two counts of aggravated assault and three counts of cruelty

to children in the second degree.

Before the assault, Glass,

35, had previously argued with his girlfriend, asking her to get an abortion.

In a later court hearing, Glass admitted that he didn't want any more

children.

Officials sought the feticide

charges after an autopsy of the two fetuses indicated that the blows during

the scuffle may have caused their deaths.

The babies were delivered stillborn

several weeks after the assault, according to authorities.
