The first-degree murder case against Tracy Dawn Nelson will now be heard March 15^th.  Nelson was in front of Judge Vaclaw Friday.   She had requested a court-appointed attorney.

Bartlesville police arrested Nelson last month after the State Medical Examiner investigated the June death of Nelson’s 7 week-old son.   The report shows the boy’s cause of death to be blunt force trama of the head and neck and rules the death to be a homicide.

Nelson was previously charged with felony child abuse in July and was released on a 50 thousand dollar bond.

Nelson’s spouse told police the child was fine when she left the infant with Nelson while running errands.  Bond on the murder charge was set at a quarter of a million dollars.
