December 2, 2008 Uncut: Defense attorney criticizes police interrogation of Truong Play video

(NECN: Worcester, Mass.) - A 16-year-old girl was ordered held without bail Tuesday after being charged with suffocating her one-year-old son with a teddy bear.

Nga Thi Truong, of Worcester, Mass., pleaded not guilty to a murder charge at her arraignment.

Police were called to Truong's home on Sunday morning. They said Truong handed officers her unconscious son, Khyle Truong, who appeared to be in respiratory and cardiac arrest. Police performed CPR and took the child to a local hospital, where the baby was pronounced dead about an hour later.

Police said Truong first told police she found the child unresponsive, but later said she suffocated him with a teddy bear.

Her attorney, Edward Ryan, said his client is innocent. He criticized the police's interrogation of Truong, saying she was questioned for hours without having her mother or a lawyer present.
