Murder suspect appeals charges

An Indianapolis woman accused of murdering her newborn has appealed a decision that made her ineligible for bond. Bei Bei Shuai, 34, was charged with murder and attempted feticide for allegedly eating rat poison while pregnant. Shuai gave birth to a baby girl Dec. 31. The coroner's report said the baby died two days later from consumption of rat poison. Defense attorneys argue Shuai was trying to commit suicide and that she should not be prosecuted for trying to harm herself.
