ASHLAND, Wis. (AP) -- A northern Wisconsin woman charged in the accidental drowning of her 7-month-old daughter has entered a plea of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.
Twenty-five-year-old Tara N. Amraen is charged with second-degree reckless homicide.
Bayfield County authorities say she had put the infant in a baby chair and set it in the bathtub, along with a 2-year-old sibling. She then allegedly went to a neighbor's apartment.
She returned minutes later and found the 7-month-old unresponsive.
The Daily Press in Ashland says Amraen entered the plea Tuesday through her attorney, Frederick Bourg.
He said Wednesday the apartments are only a few feet apart and both front doors were open. He also says his client's attention-deficit disorder may have been a factor.

ASHLAND, Wis. (AP) -- A 25-year-old Washburn woman has been charged with second-degree reckless homicide in the death of her 7-month-old daughter.
Tara N. Amraen was arrested Sept. 25 after her baby, Ciana Grace Hendricks-Amraen, drowned in a bathtub at the mother's home Sept. 10.
Bayfield County authorities said when charges were filed last Thursday that Amraen had put the infant in a baby chair and set it in the bathtub, along with a 2-year-old sibling. She then allegedly left the children in the tub and went to a friend's apartment in the same building to watch two performances on the TV program "America's Got Talent."
Amraen went back and found the 7-month-old unresponsive. The girl was pronounced dead at an Ashland hospital.
Amraen is free on bail.
