Mom of 680 pound girl faces judge not jury in trial
In Martinez California Marlene Corrigan seeks trial before experienced judge Richard Arnason rather than a jury over alleged neglect that led to her 13 year old daughter Christina Corrigan dying at 680 pounds. Prosecutors say Corrigan knew of severe sores and waste while Cardoza argues the mother was overwhelmed and not neglectful. The case drew international attention and debate over rights of the severely overweight with talks of TV coverage and courtroom cameras.
