CRICHTON, J., would deny and assigns reasons.
I would deny the defendant's writ application. Following inculpatory statements to law enforcement officers coupled with a demonstration of how she shook her infant son (to death), Relator Brittany Tyson was charged with First Degree Murder. She pled guilty to a reduced charge of manslaughter; in doing so, she waived all non-jurisdictional defects. See State v. McKinney ,
