Story here.

China Arnold, 26, was jailed Monday on a charge of aggravated murder, more than a year after she brought her dead month-old baby to a hospital.

"China - as a mother and a person - was horrified that such an act could occur," her attorney said.

Arnold has three other children.

In 2000, a Virginia woman was sentenced to five years in prison for killing her month-old son in a microwave oven. Elizabeth Renee Otte claimed she had no memory of cramming her son in the microwave and turning on the appliance in 1999. Experts said that Otte suffered from epilepsy and that her seizures were followed by blackouts.

I KNOW IT'S SO CLICHE, BUT IF YOU'LL NOTICE THE LAST PARAGRAPH, I REALLY HAVE TO WONDER IF THERE HAS EVER BEEN ANY WOMEN THAT HAS EVER BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR HER ACTIONS....

FIVE YEARS IN PRISON? Microwaving your month-old son has to be worth more than that. Damn this justice system is screwed up. I hope that China Arnold gets more than that.

It does not explain why the police suspect the mother over the babysitter. I get that it's a bit strange to not notice your baby is dead when you get home, but there must be more to it then that I would thing.

horrific that some one would kill a human being that way. If true, the method of death should count as a strong aggravating factor.
