NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a first degree murder action based on an omission to act.
FACTS: Biddle's (D) three-month old baby died.

D was harassed by her husband's accusations concerning the children and the care she gave the child was dependent on her relations with her husband. Another child of D's was found in a similar condition of malnutrition and neglect. At trial, D testified that she had fed the baby but it would not take much food or milk. D was convicted of first degree murder.
