A woman who was prosecuted in Montana for attempting to drown her 10-month-old son in 2008 has been arrested in California for killing her 12-year-old son and seriously injuring her 7-year-old son.

Deputies found them unresponsive in an irrigation ditch. They were rushed to a hospital where the older boy died from his injuries. The younger one was listed in critical condition.
