Mother killed baby daughter in microwave

adey's picture

"A mother in the United States has been found guilty of murdering her baby daughter by cooking her in a microwave. China Arnold, 28, put one-month-old Paris Talley in the oven after a fight with her boyfriend.

A jury yesterday found her guilty of aggravated murder and she was remanded for sentencing, with the prospect that she could face the death penalty.

Arnold showed no reaction when the verdict was announced at a court in Dayton, Ohio, but wept as she was led from the dock. Relatives in the courtroom cried and covered their faces with their hands.

At the time of the murder in August 2005, Arnold, her four children and her then boyfriend, Terrell Talley, lived together in a flat on a housing complex in Dayton.

Arnold claimed someone else had killed the child. An eight-year-old boy told the court he saw another boy walk into the kitchen of a nearby apartment with the baby, heard the microwave go on, and later saw the burned baby in the oven.

But Paris's DNA was found inside a microwave in Arnold's apartment, prosecutors said. A forensic pathologist testified that the baby died after being in the microwave for more than two minutes.

Defence lawyer Jon Paul Rion said Arnold was too drunk to remember events on the night of the murder. She had a blood-alcohol level nearly four times the legal driving limit.

Arnold told a cellmate that she put the baby in the microwave because she feared her boyfriend would leave her if he found out the child was not his.

Jurors, who returned their verdict after eight hours' deliberation, will return on Tuesday to consider whether Arnold should face the death penalty."

Thia is just beyond me!!! Mothers all around the world have been known to commit infanticide whilst suffering mental stress and/or post-natal depression; I can only assume this woman's brain 'broke' at the time, any other reason is too horrific and disturbing to even comprehend. Don't get me wrong, what she did is beyond words and she should face the full force of the law but it is even more vomit inducing to consider that she may have been sane at the time!

Put her inside the Microwave oven for 30mins so that she'll feel what the baby felt during the 2 minutes of torture! I hate it when people kill children...worst babies...and much worse...mother killing her own child. SICK!!!!

It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!

Murder by the state might satisfy your outrage, but it wont stop it happening again - otherwise it wouldnt have happened this time. Worth it? Enough punishment points?

Up for the JJ by the way :)

4 kids by 28, 4 different Dads (probably not sure who the fathers are). I think you should need to get a license before you're allowed to have kids.

Hmmm, maybe it could be made into a sentence...when people commit a certain crime, like the one mentioned, this sentence could be applied....

It doesn't matter what your intentions are, gypsy. You were always defending democracy, you urged education to be enforced. You had a social view so far. What made you change your mind to use "force" all of a sudden?

My desire to have people sterilized isn't new. I grew up working with child welfare agencies, orphanages, etc. I know that there's no practical way to enforce it, or really anyway to stop people from having children that doesn't go against human rights. But a gal can dream can't she?

QT...seriously, I do not believe that education and the demise of poverty helps in all cases. I have seen people who are very educated and wealthy do horrid things to to others.
I have seen poor ,uneducated people being offered education and not wanting it because a life in crime is much less work intense...sorry, but i think your view on things is too idealistic, too far removed from the rather ugly reality.
Please note, I said ""ALL cases", meaning that in some cases it will help.

Like the mother who stuck her baby in a freezer because she couldnt get him to stop crying.

This is absolutely pathetic. How come to become an adoptive parent one must go through all kinds of scrutiny but to get preggers, well, no one pays any mind.

I hope they come up with a form of birth control someday that you just give to girls and boys at the age of like 11 and they'll just be sterilized until they pass a bunch of tests to prove themselves good parents, then they can have the antidote.

Easier to sterilize people then to stop them from having sex. And education doesn't really solve the problem, some of the most uneducated people are some of the world's best parents, while some of the most educated are some of the worst.

Post nastal depression should be given more media coverage as well.

I think if your "sterilizing" policy comes true, gypsy, we'll have a new crime rising: baby-kidnapping.

Labda, I agree, post-natal depression really needs to be given more attention.

People already kidnap babies MD, and it'd be easier to find out who kidnapped them, since they wouldn't have a license.

I have to say that I feel the same way sometimes about people getting pregnant. I can never understand how God allows people to have children when they treat them so badly.

however if it were the case then I would probably vote for all of southern california to stop having children because I believe raising them in this rat race is also just as inhumane as beating them!

So where do we draw the line on such things? And when does this type of thinking take us away from putting our trust in God.

Horrible things happen and I can only have hope that God has an ultimate plan and reasoning behind all of this. All of a sudden Heaven is starting to sound a great reward for those who have and will suffer in this world.

Glenndale said Lock her up and remind her of her Crime Daily.. ...

I think we should look long and hard at the society we want to bring children into, if there is a situation of no future worthy of bringing children up, ie stable household, and viable parents. That poor child paid with it's life, for being in the wrong household and being born to the wrong mother. I think the death penalty is a cop out here, let her spend 25 years in jail remembering every day the torture and pain that she caused, that would be the punishment of my choosing.

SheDBabe said You are right PH ...

Indeed God always has a plan..& He is the best of planners..Horrific incidences like this are indeed a test to our Eeman. Take the example of my very close friend who has undergone various infertility treatments but to no avail..She has still not been blessed with a child..Imagine then when she reads of such stuff what it would do to her Eeman? We can only make dua for the victims of such evil & pray God Will re compensate them with that which is better..Meanwhile those in authority should do all it takes to ensure such incidences don't get repeated..Maximum penalty should be applied in such cases! As a mother I cant imagine what evil can drive a woman to doing such a horrific thing to her own child..Truly the devils of humans can be worse than the devils of Jin.. Allahu Must'aan!

Stratty I accept your reasoning but then what do we do with these people? Let them live out their years in jail leeching off the peoples taxes?

I dunno man just doesn't seem fair to give them a place to stay and food with psychological treatment all because they killed their kids or another human being.

I think the people who commit crimes like this are sorta past rehabilitation or whatever we are seeking when we imprison them. We cant set them back on the streets in 10 0r 20 years can we?

Anyhow I suggest the death penalty for lack of a better solution.

It was nice to meet you face to face dude! Some of us are going to continue BJJ through ramadan so give me a ring if you need a ride man!
