Mothers facing charges for child deaths held in custody until trial

Christina Bennett, an Albuquerque mother, will remain in jail until her trial for the alleged killing of her 4-month-old daughter. Prosecutors argued that Bennett was using meth around her infant, and an autopsy showed meth in the baby's blood. Despite the defense's claim of insufficient evidence, the judge ruled that the state had met its burden and ordered Bennett to have no contact with her 12-year-old child. Bennett is also undergoing a mental competency evaluation in two other cases.
