Mom gets life in prison for microwaving babyStory Highlights



DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- A woman has been sentenced to life in prison without a chance of parole for killing her baby daughter in a microwave oven.


China Arnold was convicted for killing her baby by burning her in the microwave.

Twenty-eight-year-old China Arnold chose not to be in the courtroom for Monday's sentencing.

Arnold was convicted of aggravated murder in the 2005 death of month-old daughter Paris Talley.

She was spared the death penalty because jurors could not reach a consensus on the punishment.

It was Arnold's second trial; the first ended in a mistrial when new witnesses surfaced.

Defense attorney Jon Paul Rion has asked for a third trial, saying a former cellmate who said Arnold confessed has now changed her story.

Arnold was accused of killing month-old Paris Talley in 2005. A judge declared a mistrial in February, and the retrial began August 18. The jury found Arnold guilty Friday of aggravated murder.

During the trial, an 8-year-old boy said he saw another boy walk into the kitchen of a nearby apartment with the baby, heard the microwave go on and then later saw the burned baby in the microwave.

How sick...........that poor baby.

This is disgusting. Was the mother on some sort of hallucinogens that she did not know what she was doing? And to think taxpayers will have to support her in prison!!!!

OMG!!!!How HORRIFIC!

The real mothers in the prison will give her a welcome that fits her crime,
she has only been in jail up to now.

We had a lady in Lewiston Maine, about 20 years ago, cook her kid , or was it two? in the gas oven! She was trying to get the "devil" out of them...She was being monitored by Department of Human Services. Have you noticed that when the states cut services, because of money, they cut the DHS first! Services let too much go trying to not split kids from their families.

She was spared the death penalty because jurors could not reach a consensus on the punishment.

What a load of BS. Now we have to support this young lady for the rest of her life! IMO, this crime screams DEATH PENALTY.

This is just my personal opinion: I'm no theologian or authority or anything, but my feeling is, for those who deliberately kill children, that there is no heaven and there should be no earth for them as well. Just my personal feeling.

If they can't put the "mom" on death row, how about Admax, where they buried some terrorists alive? http://www.supermaxed.com/Federal-SM-Page.htm
