While most children are wrapped in a blanket after they are born, Wanda Kay Cieslak’s child wasn’t.

Instead, the baby boy was wrapped in a garbage bag and left on the front porch of a home, according to a warrant filed on Tuesday.

Cieslak has since been charged with first degree murder and aggravated child abuse. On Tuesday she was arraigned on these charges and given a $500,000 bond. Her next court date is Nov. 1.

The fate of Greta Cooper is now in the hands of the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals.

On Tuesday morning Cooper’s attorney Brent Gray appeared before three justices to argue the merits of giving his client a new trial.

In November 2010 Cooper was sentenced to six months of jail time for bilking thousands from an elderly man she was charged with caring for. While initially facing over 65 counts of theft and forgery, Cooper was only convicted on 24 of them.
