NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - The trial of a Noble woman charged with first-degree murder in the 2006 death of her infant daughter is to start in Cleveland County District Court.

Jury selection is to begin Monday for 25-year-old Heather Trask. She's accused of allowing her husband - Jonathan Trask - to abuse 6-month-old Mackenzie Trask.

The girl died April 6, 2006, after Jonathan Trask called 911 and said she fell off a bed. A medical examiner has said the girl died of blunt force trauma that fractured her skull.

Jonathan Trask was convicted of first-degree murder in the case in December 2008 and is serving life in prison.

Heather Trask's attorneys say she didn't cause or allow her daughter to be injured.

The Trasks lived in Norman at the time and later moved to Noble.
