ITHACA, N.Y. - A Tompkins County jury has started hearing testimony in the trial of a 34-year-old woman accused of sexually abusing and drowning her 2-year-old niece.

Marie Manos of Dryden is charged with three counts of second-degree murder, two counts of aggravated sexual abuse and one count of endangering the welfare of a child in the death last May of Grace Manos.

Manos initially claimed that she left Grace unattended briefly while the girl was taking a bath, and that when she returned, she found Grace submerged. But police say Manos intentionally held her niece's face under water.

The Rise, Fall, Rise, and Imminent Fall of DDT

DDT is probably the single most valuable chemical ever synthesized to prevent disease. It has been used continually in public health programs over the past sixty years and has saved millions from diseases like malaria, typhus, and yellow fever. Despite a public backlash in the 1960s, mainstream scientific and public health communities continue to recognize its utility and safety. DDT's delisting for various uses in the United States in 1972 was a political, not a scientific, judgment. After decades of extensive study and use, DDT has not been proven to be harmful to humans. But by 1997, its future looked bleak. Environmentalists were pushing for it to be banned worldwide, and its most articulate champion, the South African Department of Health, stopped using it. Surprisingly, DDT recovered its reputation, and in 2006 the World Health Organization (WHO) championed it again.
