A 33-year-old woman pleaded not guilty last week to murder and other charges two months after her young child was found dead in her couch.

On Aug. 3, Chatham County Police Department officers responded to a home on the 100 block of Quacco Road and located a deceased child. The infant’s mother, Jennifer Cooper, was still on the scene, and she was arrested on charges of murder, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of and use of drug-related objects.

Court records show Cooper was denied bond.

WSAV-TV reports she appeared in court Thursday, Oct. 5, and entered the not guilty plea.

Both Cooper and the child reportedly had meth in their system.
