noah was found dead in a septic tank in march afer a weeklong search. white willl remain in jail until her sentencing. wdbj7's justin ward has covered this story since last year. what was the judge's reasoning behind his decision? said this was a disaster waiting to happen. he said the combination of having, what he called, a filthy home in deplorable condition, and leaving a sick baby at home while she took her boyfriend to work wasn't evidence in her favor. white's lack of urgency on march 22nd before she reported noah missing was concerning to the judge. he said white tried to feed her baby and changed her diaper before she left to go search for noah. finch said she was aware of the problems with the septic tank behind her home. she took the stand earlier today and in her defense said she never went around the tank - explaining she had a skin condition, so she normally watched noah from the door or windows. she told the court it was a dumb move to leave her children alone but she said she didn't want to wake her sick baby. white said she was told by

special way that person honored noah after his death. white is charged with child abuse and neglect of noah and her infant daughter. noah was the five year old son of white who was found in a septic tank near his home last year. the biggest controversy today has been around the wording of a single question asked by white's attorney. that question is "do you think a mother has a bigger responsibility than a father in raising a child just because she is the mother?" the judge and lawyers argued whether the question was confusing and agreed to add the word "should" to that question. i'll have much more on this developing story tonight at 5 and 6. live in pulaski, justin ward, wdbj7 environmental regulators in north carolina say they're fining duke energy over the 2014 coal ash spill. the department of environmental quality says the nearly 7 million dollar fine is for violations surrounding spill at the company's dan river power plant in civil penalties could be increased because this fine covers violations duke energy admitted when it plead

six personally knew noah.. or had helped search for him last year. and eight felt that white should be charged with murder.. not just child abuse.. or that she should be required to prove her innocence. however.. after this decision.. the prosecution asked for a bench trial rather than a jury trial elsewhere. in a move that surprised some.. the defense agreed to this. we spoke to a criminal justice expert at radford university who says judge finch's decision to change the venue could have influenced the defense's choice to let him decide white's fate. jack call, radford university 1:08- 1:11 "one of the reasons the defense might be willing to attorney perceives judge finch as a very fair-minded person. if she had a different judge, she might not perceive it that way and may not be willing to give up the jury right." white's bench trial will start tomorrow morning at nine. in the nrv newsroom bethany teague wsls 10. noah's father... paul thomas... also faces charges stemming from his death. thomas is expected back in court march 9-th. roanoke police i

that's when the prosecution says noah ultimately died. the defense argued in its opening statements that falling asleep in your own home is not a crime. as we know already from previous hearings, noah's cause of death was ruled to be drowning with hypothermia as a contributing factor, which means he was alive when he entered the septic tank. the prosecution has presented about half of its case so far. it showed photographic evidence that suggests marijuana was being grown inside the six- month old's room. as the defense pointed out, the drug task force witness who verified this, has never actually set foot inside the baby's room to see the evidence or verify that it was about the testimony today that caused white to break down into tears. john...? bethany there has also been talk about tobacco use in the home. was that brought up today? yes, in fact the fbi special agent assigned to this case testified today that cigarette smoke came straight out of the door to ashley white's trailer when they entered. she said two of the fbi team members
