CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A Cross Lanes couple accused of causing their own baby's death will go on trial next year.
Elizabeth Thornton's son died in May and she was indicted last month for child neglect resulting in death.
An autopsy found Alexander Washburn suffered multiple blows to his head and was slammed against something before he died.
The child's father, Christoper Washburn was also indicted on the same charges.
Both Thornton and Washburn pleaded not guilty during their arraignment on Tuesday.
During the hearing, the judge set Washburn's bond at $100,000 and sent him to straight to jail. Thornton's bond will stay at $100,000.
Both suspects are expected to go on trial January 5.

Well you should ask the state of WV about that because she apparently has 4 more kids to spare. I'm sure they are in foster care and therefore not so wanted. Hope they can beat the genetic toxic waste they inherited.
