On August 30, 2005, four-week-old Paris Talley was murdered by her mother, 25-year-old China Arnold. The murder attracted widespread attention in 2006, when it was reported that Talley was killed by being put into a microwave oven.
In 2008, Arnold was convicted of aggravated murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. In 2010, the ruling was reversed, with a retrial again convicting Arnold of aggravated murder the following year.
