Woman accused in babies' deaths in Utah court
PROVO, Utah (AP) — Prosecutors are getting more time to determine what charges to file against a Utah woman accused of killing six of her babies and storing their bodies in her garage.
Thirty-nine-year-old Megan Huntsman was in court Monday wearing a prison jumpsuit, her hands and ankles shackled. County prosecutors asked for two weeks to sort through evidence and ensure they choose the proper charges.
A state judge in Provo granted them a week after Huntsman's newly-appointed attorney objected to two weeks. Huntsman is being held on $6 million bail.
Utah County Attorney Jeff Buhman said outside court that Huntsman remains the only suspect.
Investigators believe her estranged husband, Darren West, is the father of the babies, though they are waiting on DNA results to confirm that. West isn't a suspect.
