Three charged in girl's death

by Gene Apodaca

KATY -- The parents and grandmother of a baby girl who died months ago now face criminal charges, accused of neglecting serious injuries that eventually took her life.

Now some children's rights advocates are criticizing Child Protective Services for not intervening before it was too late. Two-year-old Amber MacCurdy died back in April. It's a death that authorities say could have been prevented. CPS officials paid numerous visits to the girl's Katy home before her death.

Family Fights to Overturn Salt Poisoning Conviction

by Juju Chang and Shana Druckerman

It's been two years since Larry Overton heard a Texas jury convict his wife, Hannah, of capital murder in the bizarre salt poisoning death of 4-year-old Andrew Burd, a child the couple was trying to adopt.

Last October, three justices in Texas' 13th Court of Appeals denied Hannah Overton's latest appeal. Hannah Overton, 32, is currently serving a life sentence in a Texas prison. To investigators, Andrew's sudden and bizarre death was no accident. Within days, the authorities had begun weaving a sinister tale of murder, theorizing that Hannah Overton had become overwhelmed with the arrival of a foster child.

Some California teachers oppose stimulus aid

by Lyanne Melendez
