China Arnold Gets Life for Microwaving Her 28-Day-Old Baby to Death

by Tony Marino Mon May 23, 2011 3:31 pm

The years was 2005, and China Arnold had just given birth to a baby girl a month before. But her boyfriend wasn't ready to take responsibility for the child. He claimed the baby wasn't his. They were arguing over paternity at a home in Dayton, Ohio that day...

That's when China decided that if her boyfriend wouldn't man up, she wouldn't either. So she placed the little girl in the microwave for two minutes. The baby ended up dying from essentially being cooked to death.

It would take six years to bring China to justice. Her first trial ended in a mistrial in 2008 when a boy who was just 5 at the time came forward near the trial's end to say he saw another kid put the baby in the microwave.

Her second trial was held that same year, but the jury couldn't decide whether to sentence her to death of life in prison. So a judge sentenced her to life, but that decision was later overruled on appeal.

Earlier this month, she was convicted yet again, and this time it looks like it will stick. A judge sentenced her Friday to life with parole.

That's terrible. I think some people don't see babies as actually human, but rather experimental toys. If I believed in capital punishment, I'd be ready to have her injected with a needle.

I think it's really sick that some people treat life as "disposable". Some people can't have biological children of their own and would love to have adopted that baby. After having gone through radiation therapy, myself, and smelled the unnatural burning smell it emits, I can only imagine what that microwave was like--and radiation was a "controlled" thing, as bad as that was.

There have actually been a few stories of mothers doing this, why the hell they do I don't know but I think every last one of them should be shot at dawn.

Now is this woman, I recall a few years ago a story on the news, is this the one in her interview she says somebody else told her the baby looked like somebody had cooked her? I remember that and there were experts on TV saying the baby wouldn't look like anything like she was saying.

Sorry you had to endure radiation therapy, hope all is well. In the case of this baby they should do the same thing to the mother and see how she likes it.

If I believed in capital punishment, I'd say she should get the same death her baby got. If you don't want the baby, give it up for adoption. Plenty of families out there would treasure what she so callously murdered.

Yes, "do unto others" should apply here. Thanks, too--I'm doing mostly pretty good nowadays, and not to derail this thread, you can read my journey here if interested:
