Mother convicted of 'cooking' her month-old baby to death in a microwave oven has ruling overturned








An Ohio woman who was convicted of 'cooking' her month old baby to death in a microwave had the ruling dramatically reversed today.
China Arnold, was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 2008 for killing 28-day-old Paris Talley in August 2005.
But the 2nd District Ohio Court of Appeals in Dayton ruled that the woman should be freed.
Defence attorney Jon Paul Rion said today that he's thrilled with the ruling and said he realized from the first day' that Arnold was innocent.
The 30-year-old continued to deny killing her baby after going through two trials in the case.

The first ended in a mistrial and she was sentenced following her second trial.
Montgomery County prosecutor's office spokesman Greg Flannagan said prosecutors were reviewing the ruling before commenting.

The conviction was apparently reversed based on prosecution misconduct and claims that they hid witnesses, disobeyed court orders and subverted the judicial process according to Mr Rion.
The state's star witness Linda Williams also recanted her story. After Arnold was convicted, Ms Williams came forward and said that she lied to the jury about the mother confessing that she put her daughter in a microwave oven.
In September 2008, Arnold was spared the death penalty when the jury deadlocked during the sentencing phase after her conviction on aggravated murder.
Arnold had a criminal past and was convicted of abduction in 2000 and forgery in 2002.

Sad: One-month-old baby Paris Talley succumbed to her injuries after being 'cooked' in a microwave oven


She had lived with her children and her boyfriend Terrell Talley at the time of the baby's death.
Prosecutors said that Arnold placed Paris into the microwave after an argument with Talley over the baby's paternity. She told investigators that she was intoxicated.
Arnold took Paris to the hospital the following day but she succumbed to her injuries.
Arnold was initially arrested but then released due to lack of evidence. She was re-arrested in November 2006.
The death was ruled a homicide caused by hyperthermia, or high body temperature. The absence of external burns ruled out an open flame, scalding water or a heating pad as the cause.
Arnold and the child’s father had apparently gone out for a short time and left Paris with a babysitter, Rion said.

The mother didn’t sense anything out of the ordinary until the next morning, when the child was found unconscious.
Mr Talley had later claimed that his son told him he had pulled the baby's lifeless body out of the microwave after a neighbour's boy had put her in there. This claim resulted in a mistrial.

Evidence: Baby Paris was badly burned after being put in a microwave oven - she died in hospital the next day


However at the second trial, the mother of the boy in question managed to prove that he was not at the residence when baby Paris died and Arnold was convicted of murder.
Arnold's mother Gloria Scott said today that she was very happy when she learned the
appeals court had reversed her daughter's murder conviction.
'I was so overjoyed. It was so unbelievable', Ms Scott said at a news conference.

She said she was sure her daughter would be freed and said to co-workers: 'I told them that China is coming home'.
Arnold will be back in Montgomery County in a few days and once she returns will be held in Montgomery County jail pending a bail hearing. She is now expected to be granted a new trial.

Boy, 3,


Found Dead in Oven; Mom Charged


The “charred” body of a 3-year-old boy was found inside an oven in a Greenville, MS apartment by police responding to a disturbance call in the early morning hours on Thursday. The child’s mother, Terrie Robinson, 24, was charged with his murder.
According to Washington County Coroner Methel Johnson, Tristan Robinson sustained head injuries and other trauma that occurred sometime before he was placed inside the hot oven. Police say the body was “Still warm to the touch” when it was removed from the oven just after midnight.
The toddler may have been asleep when he was placed inside the oven. Johnson said an autopsy would be conducted Friday to determine the exact cause of death.
Police also found a little girl who was uninjured inside the Greenville, MS apartment. She was placed in the custody of Mississippi Department of Human Services.
News of the child’s horrific death sent shockwaves through the community. Terrie Robinson’s twin sister, Sherrie Robinson, feared the public was rushing to judgment without hearing all of the facts.
“She was a great parent, a good person. We don’t know what’s wrong,” said Sherrie in an interview with WXVT-TV. “We don’t know what happened. Do not sit there and call her a bad mom cause that’s not what she is.”
Terrie Robinson is being held on $5 million bond.

What is it with these People.

How can you burn your own child?

Religious fanatic killed baby daughter by stuffing pages of the Bible into her mouth

• Mother doused six-week-old in white spirit and jumped up and down on her
• She had tried to smother her older child for crying three years earlier
• Health workers missed signs she posed a risk to children, says report
• They visited the house earlier on the day of the death and found her husband in grip on psychotic episode

A six-week-old baby was killed by her bipolar mother after she stuffed pages from the Bible into the infant's mouth, while supposedly in the care of bungling NHS staff.

Christian fundamentalist Julia Lovemore, 41, killed daughter Faith by stuffing her mouth with paper then dousing her in white spirit and jumping up and down on her body.
Two health workers had visited the home in Milton, near Cambridge, earlier the same day and found her husband David in the grips of a psychotic episode, but had failed to act.

The computer games designer, 39, had been frantically praying on the living room floor, shouting for the devil to be taken out of his wife.

The health workers even heard his wife call from downstairs, but left without seeing her to arrange a formal assessment of the family.

Tragically, an hour later, Mr Lovemore carried his lifeless baby into Milton Health surgery, along with their first child, who was critically ill after being doused in white spirit.
Lovemore admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and was detained indefinitely under the Mental Health Act.
Other fatal errors by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Trust included the shocking loss of records detailing an attempt by Lovemore in 2006 to smother her first child with a pillow to stop her crying.

There was also a three-month gap when the family were left to their own devices after a mismanaged handover between mental health teams, a serious case review revealed.
Furthermore, Lovemore had called a nurse five days before the death to say she wanted no further visits - a common sign of a relapse - which the report said should have alerted staff to the danger she posed.
Mr Lovemore had told social worker earlier that month that if Faith or her sister got into difficulty, he would pray first. 'He never said yes or no to calling a doctor,' prosecutor John Farmer told Cambridgeshire Crown Court in June 2010.
Shocking: Lovemore had tried to stop her first child from crying by smothering her with a pillow three years earlier - but the NHS Trust had lost its records of this

Lovemore's aunt had reported her to authorities after becoming concerned over her 'religious fervour', saying she had distanced herself from her family, branding them 'heathens'.

The report has now criticised Cambridge County Council, local police and the NHS trust for failing to protect the girl, who died in June 2009.
It said there was lack of 'assertiveness' in making Lovemore take her medication.
It was ruled that too much time was spent on determining whether the family's extreme religious views were a sign of mental illness rather than looking at the risk they posed to the children.


The report said: 'There was a failure to collectively recognise the extent to which this family were a risk to their children once they were mentally unwell.'

Disgraceful: Health workers missed warning sign including her request to case treatment days earlier and her husband having a psychotic episode when they visited the house hours before Faith's death


It added that the risk the mother posed to her children was 'not understood in the light of her past behaviour' because of the loss of any record of her attempt to hurt her other daughter.

The report concluded: 'We have no doubt that all the professionals working with Mr and Mrs A [the Lovemores] wanted to help them and were really concerned about the health of both parents.
'However, it is evident that significant systems and processes were not adequately in place and as a result Mrs A and her children were allowed to slip though the safety net of care.'

Dr Chess Denman, medical director at the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, said the trust had now acted on the recommendation of the serious case review.

He said: 'We have already responded to the recommendations of the Serious Case Review and our own thorough internal investigation.

'We are now implementing a robust action plan in response to the external inquiry’s findings, including reviewing our risk assessment process and further increasing our focus on quality and safety.'

German Woman Suspected Of Killing 5 Babies

By DAVID RISING and GEIR MOULSON 09/27/12 10:17 AM ET


BERLIN — A woman killed her five infants shortly after giving birth in secret at home and in the woods because each time she got pregnant she worried her husband would leave her if she had any more children, authorities said Thursday. The woman, 28, who has been arrested on five counts of manslaughter, made a "comprehensive confession" to the killings after turning herself in as a six-year investigation closed in on her, said Ulrike Stahlmann-Liebelt, the head prosecutor in Flensburg, on Germany's border with Denmark.
Stahlmann-Liebelt said the woman, whose name was not released in accordance with German privacy laws, has two living children, aged 8 and 10. But then in 2006 she began hiding her pregnancies, staying away from doctors and hospitals and killing the infants after giving birth to two at home and three in the woods, she said.
"She had the impression her husband would leave her if she had any more children, and that's why she didn't tell anyone she was pregnant, including her husband," Stahlmann-Liebelt said.
"She has said that the family lived at a certain level of prosperity, that it was clear her husband did not want any more children, and that one reason was to preserve this standard, and she feared that might be endangered if another child were there."
The husband has told police that he knew nothing about the pregnancies, Stahlmann-Liebelt said, and it wasn't entirely clear how the woman managed to keep them secret.
Stahlmann-Liebelt said there have been other cases when woman's pregnancy can go unnoticed by their partners and others.
Police found the first infant's body dumped in a paper sorting station in 2006 about 15 kilometers (nine miles) away from the town of Husum where the woman lived. The second was found in a parking area off a regional highway, also about the same distance from Husum but in a different direction, in 2007.
After reading news reports that DNA results had confirmed the two children had the same parents, the woman then decided not to dispose the other bodies in public places, police official Dirk Czarnetzki said.

She hid the next three infants – whose existence authorities were unaware of until the woman's confession – in boxes in the basement of the building where she lived.
The bodies have now been recovered and autopsies have been carried out, but forensic experts have not yet been able to determine the cause or dates of their death.
Germany has Europe's most widespread network of so-called baby-boxes – hatches usually run by church groups and charities and associated with hospitals where people can give up their newborns entirely anonymously and safely – but Stahlmann-Liebelt said the woman told authorities she did not know how to go about finding one. There are about 100 baby-boxes in Germany – including one in a town about 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the woman's home – and more than 100 babies are estimated to be given up in the country that way each year. While the baby-boxes are technically illegal, authorities turn a blind eye on the practice.
After finding the first two babies, authorities were able to narrow down the likelihood that the parents came from the area around Husum, a town on the North Sea coast.
In the course of the investigation they took hundreds of DNA tests from women in the area over time and took a sample from the woman on Tuesday, Czarnetzki said at a televised news conference in Flensburg, the regional administrative center. A short time after – before the sample had been processed – the woman turned herself in and confessed, he said.
Czarnetzki said the woman's decision to submit to a saliva test and to make a long statement to police suggested "that she felt relieved of great pressure ... simply to be able to say it."
"It's important to stress that, as things stand, our assessment is that no one else was involved and it is apparently the case – incredible as it might seem – that no one noticed the pregnancies or the birth of these children," he said.
A judge has ordered the woman held in custody pending a formal indictment, which typically takes several months in Germany. Stahlmann-Liebelt said it was too early to say what penalty she might face if convicted.
There have been several cases in recent years in Germany of women who have killed several of their own children, though the country's infanticide rate overall is similar to other western European nations.
In the worst case, a woman was convicted of manslaughter in 2006 and sentenced to the maximum 15 years in prison for killing eight of her newborn babies and burying them in flower pots and a fish tank in the garden of her parents' home near the German-Polish border.

Mother Kills Her Twin Babies Because Of Their Father’s Possible Affair







Philadelphia, PA – Police in Philadelphia have accused a woman of killing her twin babies, and attempting to kill her young daughter, after learning the children’s father was having an affair with one of her family members.After returning home from work last Thursday, Ronald Smalls found that his wife, 41-year-old Stacey Smalls, had murdered their twins, tried to poison their 4-year-old daughter, and had slit her own wrists. Police believe Smalls, a former corrections officer who worked at a nursing home, strangled one twin and drowned the other.
She also tried to poison their 4-year-old by having her ingest a poisoned drink. The girl probably saved her own life after becoming suspicious and refusing to drink all of it. She was admitted to St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children and is expected to be released to her father.
Smalls was taken to the hospital after unsuccessfully trying to take her own life by slitting her wrists. She is currently in police custody on two counts of 1st-degree murder and is on a suicide watch.
The motive behind the killings was revealed in multiple notes Smalls left for the children’s father, one saying, “This is why I killed your kids.” The “why” turned out to be the “Hell hath no fury” variety. Stacey felt justified in killing her children after learning, on Mother’s Day, that her husband was having an affair with her daughter from a previous relationship. Damn, Ron.
The couple have had some recent marital issues according to Ron Smalls. This is evident by Stacey’s recent Facebook relationship changing to “Divorced,” accompanied by a new profile pic of a car spray-painted along its side with the words, “Hope she was worth it.”

white people are gross.
