   Potential Jurors Questioned in Case of Ohio Mother Accused of   
   Microwaving Month-Old Baby   
   Monday, January 28, 2008   
      
    DAYTON, Ohio  —  Prosecutors and defense attorneys quizzed potential   
   jurors Monday in the trial of a woman accused of killing her month-old   
   daughter by burning her in a microwave oven, asking them if they had   
   heard about the case and how they felt about the death penalty.   
      
   Defendant China Arnold, 27, sat impassively at the defense table as   
   jurors were questioned one by one in Montgomery County Common Pleas   
   Court. She wore gray slacks and a white turtleneck sweater and her   
   hair was neatly braided.   
      
   Each of the half dozen potential jurors questioned before noon said   
   they had heard something about the case, either through news accounts   
   or in talking with friends. But they said they could be impartial.   
      
   "The charge was somewhat shocking, but I haven't formed any opinion,"   
   one potential juror said.   
      
   Arnold has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder. If convicted, she   
   could face the death penalty.   
      
   (...)   
      
      
   During a pretrial hearing in July, Dayton police Detective Michael   
   Galbraith said Arnold told him she arrived home in the early morning   
   hours after drinking, fell asleep and was awakened at 2:30 a.m. by the   
   baby's crying.   
      
   She said she warmed a bottle in the microwave oven, tried to give it   
   to the baby, changed the child's diaper and fell asleep on the couch   
   with the baby on her chest.   
   _____   
      
   Ha ha ha.  No momma.  You warmed the baby in the microwave oven and   
   fell asleep with the bottle wrapped in a diaper on your chest.
