She shouldn't ever leave a prison again as long as she lives.
We don't know yet if Lane lured Michelle to the house hoping to steal a male fetus and pass it off as her bio-son, or if she instead planned to kill the fetus from the get-go and stage a miscarriage to explain why she was suddenly no longer pregnant, or if she had some other motive. Her intent has not been addressed by LE at this point.
The arraignment originally scheduled for tomorrow has been delayed until Friday.
Lane was initially arrested on suspicion of three felonies -- attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault and child abuse knowingly/recklessly resulting in death. However, the Boulder County District Attorney will have the final say on what charges she will face.
The autopsy was conducted on the baby Friday. However, Boulder County Deputy Coroner Derek Rinaldi said more investigation is needed before a ruling is made on the cause and manner of death. This can include microscopic analysis of tissue along with blood and toxicology testing.

Lane's husband David Ridley (pictured with Lane above) is cited in the Police Report as saying that he found the baby in the bathtub and it took a gasp for air when he turned the body over.
But, the prosecution is surely waiting to see if the coroner can confirm for a fact that the baby breathed outside of the womb before deciding final charges. The DA's office doesn't need to rush on determining whether a murder charge will be filed; Lane's in jail on $2,000,000 bail for the attack on Wilkins anyway.
