A St. Paul woman was acquitted Saturday on charges of second-degree unintentional murder and charges of manslaughter for the death of her infant son.
Jessica Caldwell was accused of assaulting her son because he was "whiny," the prosecutor said in his closing arguments, according to the Star Tribune.
After two days of deliberation, the jury acquitted Caldwell.
Caldwell's boyfriend had earlier been charged with with one count of manslaughter in a separate case, the Pioneer Press reports.
