Lizelle Herrera, 26, was released from custody Saturday night on $500,000 bond. Then, on Sunday, the DA said the Starr County Sheriff's Department "did their duty in investigating the incident brought to their attention by the reporting hospital." However, he said that this is not a criminal matter under Texas law.
Lizelle Herrera, 26, was arrested Thursday after police alleged she violated the state s new, restrictive abortion law in knowingly causing the death of an individual by self-induced abortion, police said.
Starr County District Attorney Gocha Allen Ramirez said that 26-year-old Lizelle Herrera "cannot and should not be prosecuted for the allegation against her."
