Ohio jury visits apartment in microwave death case
Lawyer Blogs
A jury in Dayton, Ohio, has visited the apartment where prosecutors say a woman killed her month-old baby by burning her in a microwave oven.
The visit came ahead of opening statements Monday in the retrial of 28-year-old China Arnold. She's charged with aggravated murder in the 2005 death of her daughter, Paris Talley.
Arnold has pleaded not guilty. She could face the death penalty if convicted.
A judge declared a mistrial in February after privately hearing testimony from a juvenile who said he was at the apartment complex the night the baby died. The judge did not reveal what the juvenile said.
