A Moneta woman is facing involuntary manslaughter charges after a domestic dispute last week.
It happened in a home on Ballard's Circle Road on July 15th.
Investigators say 30- year- old Sandra Eggleston and 34- year- old Stacie English were arguing when English's mother- in- law tried to intervene.
Eggleston allegedly struck 56- year- old Jimmie English in the chest, knocking her to the floor.
An autopsy showed the blow caused her heart to stop beating.
Stacie English also suffered cuts and bruises to her face and head.
Eggleston remains free on bond.

Like the four U-S presidents who preceded him...including his father ,
George W. Bush met with Pope John Paul earlier today. The 81 year old
Pontiff welcomed the President and then seized the chance to speak out
on the controversial issue of embryonic stem cell research.
sot: Pope John Paul ( WITH CHYRON TEXT OF SOT ON LOWER SCREEN)
"a free and virtuous society, which America aspires to be-- must resist
practices that devalue and violate human life."
While the Catholic church is strongly opposed to the use of human
embryos for medical research, President Bush has not yet made up his
mind whether to approve federal money to fund studies.
sot: Bush
I do care about the opinions of people.......especially people like the
holy father.
(CARLSON STANDUP BRIDGE)
"One issue President Bush and the Pope will agree on is abortion. The
Vatican staunchly against abortion is happy to have a U-S President who
shares the same views."
The two leaders do not share the same views on the death penalty.... a
practice the U-S government has recently resumed after a 38 year hiatus.
In his remarks, the President steered clear of touchy issues, instead
paying tribute to the spiritual leader of over one BILLION Catholics.
sot: President Bush
"You have urged men and women of good will to take to their knees before
God and to stand, unafraid before tyrants. And this has added greatly
to the momentum of freedom in our time."
An audience with the Pontiff has become a tradition for American
presidents, dating back to Woodrow Wilson. A chance to seek advice and
to court millions of catholic voters in the U-S.

After two days of negotiating, representatives of nearly 200 nations agree to a global warming treaty.

The breakthrough came after a compromise decision on how to enforce legally binding sanctions against those who violate the treaty.
Its goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Meanwhile, the U-S still rejects the pact, with President Bush saying it'll harm the American economy.
The treaty must be ratified by 55 nations.
30- nations have already ratified it.
Negotiators win over the remaining countries by next year.
