Woman Convicted for Microwaving Baby

Yes.  Death penalty.

A US court in Dayton, Ohio, has convicted a mother of murdering her one-month-old daughter by burning her to death in a microwave oven.

China Arnold, 28, showed no emotion when the jury announced its guilty verdict, only lowering her head.

The prosecution said that Arnold had killed her daughter, Paris Talley, in 2005 after a fight with her boyfriend.

The jury will reassemble next Tuesday to decide if Arnold, convicted of aggravated murder, should face death.

Officials investigating the case said Paris Talley had suffered high-heat internal burns but had no external marks.

Prosecutors said that the baby’s DNA had been found inside the microwave in Arnold’s apartment.

1. Agreed. 

   Won’t happen, though.  She’s the mother.  In this post-Roe v. Wade world, mothers are allowed to kill their one-month-old daughters without facing the ultimate penalty. 

   She may get 10 years, no more.

2. That’s bullshit.  She’ll get a hell of a lot more than ten years.

3. Too bad there is not a microwave big enough for her. Of course, I wanted to take the mother who put her car into a lake with the two boys in it to be submerged in a car also…
