China Arnold sentenced to life in prison

A jury has returned a recommendation of life in prison without possibility of parole for China Arnold.  Arnold has been convicted in the death of her infant daughter who coroners say died from burns suffered in a microwave oven.  Immediately following the jury recommendation Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Mary Wiseman sentenced Arnold to life in prison.  Arnold remained quiet in the courtroom during the sentencing, then was escorted to the county jail where she will stay until she is handed over to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.  The jury had the option of recommending the death sentence.
