Ka Yang, 30, was arrested in the March 2011 death of 2-month-old Mirabelle Thao-Lo.
During the Tuesday hearing in Sacramento County Superior Court, Dr. Gregory Reiber, a forensic pathologist with the Sacramento County Coroner's Office, testified that the child's death was caused by second, third and fourth-degree thermal (burn) injuries.
Police said Yang tortured the child when she placed the infant in the microwave. Yang was arrested three months after the investigation in her daughter's death.
"I believe, given the state of the law, that there is no evidence really to support that this killing occurred for purposes of inflicting pain," said defense attorney Linda Parisi.

Spoken like a true blood sucking lawyer in it for nothing but a payday. How that snatch sleeps at night, I'll never know.

This just makes me sick and the fact that her defense atty. is basically saying that she didn't really do this killing for the purposes of inflicting pain?! I am sad that she even calls herself a atty. as for myself, I know how it is to be on the defense side of things but what else could she have wanted to put her baby girl in the microwave other then to cause her pain? Come on now..that is just crass..I hope she gets the death penalty..

I told her about this case and asked her what fourth degree burns were and she was like "I've never heard of them." I guess I'll just have to google fourth degree burns and look it up myself. There is no possible way you put a child in a microwave oven and not mean to inflict pain. When you put anything in a microwave oven it gets excessively hot. Nothing more need be said.

#3 - Wed Feb 22, 2012 8:09 PM ESTHad to look up fourth degree burns. Here is what I found:
A fourth-degree burn is a non-technical term that describes extreme burns that go all the way down to the muscle and bone. These burns are so severe that they can cause the skin to turn black. Technically, these burns are encompassed under the third-degree burn umbrella. However in some cases, people choose to segment these extremely serious and damaging burns into their own category.

She sat the dinning table up and was also cooking more food when the parents of the child came home. The babysitter was on an substance and as the story goes is still high.
