3rd trial beginning in Ohio microwave baby death

DAYTON, Ohio

The Dayton Daily News reports jury selection begins Monday in the case of China Arnold, charged with aggravated murder in the August 2005 death of 28-day-old Paris Talley.

Arnold's first trial ended in a mistrial. She was found guilty in the second trial, but that conviction was reversed last fall. An appeals court ruled there was prosecutorial misconduct and that the trial court made an error by not allowing a material witness to testify in Arnold's defense.

Prosecutors have said Arnold intentionally put the baby in the microwave after a fight with her boyfriend. The defense has argued evidence suggests someone else was responsible.
