| A jury in Dayton, Ohio, has visited the apartment where prosecutors say a woman killed her month-old baby by burning her in a microwave oven. The visit came ahead of opening statements Monday in the retrial of 28-year-old China Arnold. She's charged with aggravated murder in the 2005 death of her daughter, Paris Talley. Arnold has pleaded not guilty. She could face the death penalty if convicted. A judge declared a mistrial in February after privately hearing testimony from a juvenile who said he was at the apartment complex the night the baby died. The judge did not reveal what the juvenile said. |

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
