An appeals court has overturned the murder conviction of an Ohio woman, China Arnold, accused of cooking her baby daughter in a microwave oven.

China Arnold was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole back when a jury found her guilty of aggravated murder for the August 2005 death of 28-day-old Paris Talley.
