DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A woman convicted of killing her month-old baby daughter in a microwave oven was spared the death penalty and sentenced Friday to life in prison without parole.

Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Mary Wiseman sentenced China Arnold, 31, of Dayton, Ohio, who psychologists testified showed no signs of serious mental illness. Arnold declined to make a statement during her sentencing.

And the mother in the New Hampshire child death asked "Does New Hampshire have the death penalty?"

Were is the death penalty when you need it?

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

OMG. She put the baby in the microwave?!?!?!? Poor baby! This ‘mother’ is twisted.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Yeah really. Especially for cases like this.

[Celtic Cross]

I can barely believe this! Killed her baby in the microwave?

Execute her.

[GeronL]

death penalty by putting her into a microwave would be better

[cherry]

what evil we have in this world.....real, true evil among us....

I saw a criminologist on TV last night talk about the New Hampshire case and his words were “Juries don't like to execute women.”

[death2tyrants]

The death penalty was made for cases like this.

[Celtic Cross]

But this isn’t a women; This is not even a person we are talking about.

[bigheadfred]

“Juries don't like to execute women.”

So they can't use that excuse here.

FRY the Beeatch.

I’ll say it: this monster escape the death penalty because she’s a WOMAN.

[newzjunkey]

“Juries don't like to execute women.”

Where's the ACLU? Seems to me misandrous application of the death penalty is a violation of equal protection. If they can argue sentencing disparities of whites vs blacks, they can argue gender bias.

’ll say it: this monster escape the death penalty because she’s a WOMAN.

Or she escaped the death penalty because she was a liberal full of compassion and love for the OTHER:

Note that the Chicago Tribune did not include a picture of this beast.

[newzjunkey]

Defense attorney Kevin Lennen said that death or life in prison would be a tough penalty, but death should go only to the worst offenders. He pointed to evidence that Arnold was drunk at the time of the baby's death.

Another example why lawyers are hated.

[Revolting cat!]

Amish.

[newzjunkey]

This was her third trial. First was a hung jury, second was conviction but thrown out for prosecutorial misconduct.

Maybe Holder will help her out this time.

[merryberry]

Yeah, and we get stuck watching the Caysee (sp) Anthony case where she killed her daughter and went out dancing while this other killer..come on, cooking your daughter in a microwave oven!!, gets barely any publicity. Left unsaid is that the microwave cooker is black. The dancing killer is white...just saying...And yes she should be microwaved to death.

[B4Ranch]

If anyone ever deserved to be tortured, this pig takes first place. Get her to the front of the line ASAP!

[merryberry]

Can you imagine the uproar she microwaved her dog!!!
Definitely Death
