A New Jersey woman who authorities say put her

newborn baby in the middle of a road and set the child
on fire was charged Saturday with murder.
Burlington County prosecutors said Hyphernkemberly Dorvilier, 22, of Pemberton Township was jailed
on $500,000 bail.
Police responded to a Friday night call about a fire
in the middle of a residential road in Pemberton Township, about 30 miles east of Philadelphia. Officers
found the baby in flames and put out the fire.
The infant girl, whose age was not immediately
clear, was badly burned but alive and breathing when
police arrived. She was airlifted to St. Christophers
Hospital for Children in Philadelphia about 11:15 p.m.
Friday, where she died approximately two hours later.
Her mother was taken into custody at the scene.

the license plate readers to alert them of a warrant on

The readers are attached to the trunks of the vehicles,
and automatically read numbers and connect to a
computer system to notify officers when theres a hit.
They also record the time, date and location of vehicles and can scan thousands of plates an hour.

That may seem like a long time, but within that span
eight years ago, Barack Obama went from being a firstterm Illinois senator to president of the United States. If
Gov. Chris Christie wants to become the first New Jersey
governor since Woodrow Wilson to occupy the Oval Office, he will have to navigate a winding path wrought with
so many potholes and detours it could pass for some of the
