all microwaved food tastes crap , all they need to do is take a bite to determine if it was microwaved or not

Contrary to popular belief microwaved food does not cook from the inside.

Anyway this story is a bit vague and woolly. It doesn't sound like when they took the baby to the hospital it was even suspected, it's only the boyfriend saying that she told him over the phone months later. We only seem to have his word that she said that. Also she may well have said it but only said it in order to hurt him in the heat of an argument. It's full of 'he said, she said'.

If you look at the news a few days earlier it says she confessed to the police -

Crikey that article is even more confusing than the first one!

It sounds like she was certainly too drunk to be in charge of a baby at the very least but there's reference to there being other people who could have done it and her lawyer says there's evidence that she didn't purposely kill the baby. What crossed my mind was that in a drunken state she had some ludicrous idea that wrapping the baby up in a blanket and putting it in the microwave would keep it warm! Maybe that was what she meant when she said if her boyfriend had been there it wouldn't have happened.

I can't help asking myself if this woman is perhaps intelligently challenged as they put it these days - or in other words a bit thick and really not capable of looking after a baby at all.

This is a transcript from a CNN report.

In short, it makes the case that there were three children in the house, the eldest being 9 years old. (Quite capable of putting a baby into a microwave)

There is conflict on the whereabouts of the boyfriend, he says he arrived home early morning, she says he was with her throughout the night,..........

and the boyfriends sister baby-sat the previous evening, no one checked the baby on the mothers return as it was assumed the baby was sleeping

Mother was drunk when she came home......did she do it while in a state of drunkeness? was it one of the children in the middle of the night? Maybe the baby sitter, putting the dead child to bed afterwards? or the partner who's whereabouts seem to be unclear that night?

The only one NOT in the frame is the Butler........
