can she be charged for attempted murder?...”

Yes, if her child dies as a result, she could be faced with
involuntary manslaughter, vehicular homicide, or similar charges.
There are many such cases on record.

True. But that's not what Officer Caesar Goodson is being charged with. He is being charged with “second-degree ‘depraved heart murder.”

IMO, that's a stretch. (He might be convicted of offenses you listed, or of reckless driving. But Mosby seems to be going for a Hail Mary pass.)
