Microwave baby killer convicted

A jury will decide if China Arnold should face the 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.

Arnold's cellmate told the court that she had confessed to putting her daughter in the microwave and switching it on, because she was afraid that her boyfriend would leave her if he discovered that he was not the baby's father.

The defence team said that there was evidence that somebody else was responsible for Paris Talley's death.

An eight-year-old boy told the court he had seen another boy walk into the kitchen of a nearby apartment, heard the microwave being switched on and had later seen the burned baby in the oven.

However, the boy's mother said they lived some distance away and that they were not in Arnold's apartment complex when Paris Talley died.

I think her parents should take the blame. Calling their child "China" probably contributed to her mental issues, tbh.

She wont last long in prison. Just as Male inmates dislike rapists (and pedophiles).... female inmates dislike anyone that harms children. I've worked in female prisons before, and are just as brutal as the men can be. She may get the "death penalty" after all.

She may get the "death penalty" after all.

Here's hoping....

Sometimes i think it would be nice if they just let her live, so she could suffer for the rest of her life. IF there was none of this perole **** for some people, and they actually let them "rot" in jail. It just feels like killing her just won't do enough justice. But then again, that would work in a perfect world. Let's hope she realizes what she did, if she hasn't already.

Stick her in solitary confinement, with projectors that flash split-second images of her kid (and/or the coroner's photos thereof) along with speakers playing the anguished screams that came out of that microwave. See how long it takes her to kill herself (bonus points for padding on the walls so she has to do something like gouge out her own eyes and stick her fingers into her brain) or go insane from the grief.

No sense in wasting perfectly good electricity, drugs, or bullets (or dulling a perfectly-good guillotine blade for that matter, though that's "barbaric" and would never be used on someone who...you know...microwaved her kid) when you can let the mind take care of matters aaaaaaaall by itself.

She is a sick **** (if you pardon my French), how could anyone do that to a child.

[Martyn]

I hope she gets the death penalty as well...by microwave.

I hope she gets the death penalty as well...by microwave.

Yeah, what goes around comes around.

Yeah, what goes around comes around.

At least until the *PING*.

Send her to already, life sentence will be enough. She'll get the justice that she truly deserves. Even serial killer inmates have their limits of what's right and wrong. They are humane like us as far as children go.

I just can't understand what must of being going through her head when she decided to microwave her baby!! She is one ****ed up human being and deserves the DEATH PENALTY (usually i'm against it) and it should be made SLOW AND PAINFUL - she should be made to suffer for what she did and re-live what that poor baby must of felt - stick her inside a furnace and she how she likes it, the sick ****er!!!

(Sorry for the bad language, but I really hate it when people do things to children!)

[HTF]

wow thats terrible. i hope she gets what she deserves.

[watsxn]

that is one brutal way to kill someone......she should be put to death the same way.

Arnold's cellmate told the court that she had confessed to putting her daughter in the microwave and switching it on, because she was afraid that her boyfriend would leave her if he discovered that he was not the baby's father.

The logic behind this being?

So the "Father" comes home after a days work and asks "Whats the baby doing in the Microwave, darling? You Killed it? Oh thats okay." *HUGZZZ* "Lets start again!!"

Well, in this case let karma have its way.

[Green_Eye]

I really want to see if anybody is against her getting the death penalty and their reasoning behind it...

Karma is only justice without the satisfaction.

She should be erased from this world.
