Ms. China Arnold of Ohio, a 27 year old former mother, stands accused of cooking her one month old baby to death in a microwave.

According to a statement China made, she was awakened by the baby's crying in the middle of the night, following a drinking binge. China admits that she was still drunk at the time when she changed the baby's diaper, and - she thought - microwaved a bottle for the baby.

Autopsy reports show that the child died from high-heat internal burns, yet the skin was undamaged in any way. The medical examiner concurs that a microwave is the most likely method such extensive damage can be achieved without any sign of external injury.

Jury selection for her trial is underway this week.

    Wow! How horrible for the baby, as if being drunk with a baby in her care wasn't enough to begin with...just horrible. Thanks for the report.
