Why did Republicans lose in the 2008 elections?



A jury has ended its first day of deliberations in the case of a New York City woman accused of allegedly standing by as her husband beat her 7-year-old daughter to death.

Nixzaliz Santiago is charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter in the 2006 death of Nixzmary Brown. During deliberations Wednesday, jurors asked to see photos of the girl's injuries and to hear a 911 call Santiago made after beating.

Deliberations were due to continue Thursday.

The stepfather was convicted of manslaughter earlier this year but acquitted of murder. He is serving 29 years in prison.

The girl was bound to a chair, starved and forced to urinate in a litter box. Her death hastened reforms in the city's troubled child welfare system.
