A SUPREME Court judge has ruled a Ravenswood woman accused of wilfully neglecting her two-month-old daughter had no case to answer.

Chief Justice Ewan Crawford today declared the charges against Kylie Marie Parker, 25, could not be proven because the prosecution had failed to present sufficient evidence.

Prosecutor Peter Sheriff had alleged that Ms Parker failed to seek immediate medical treatment for her baby's broken arm.

But Chief Justice Crawford told the jury that allegation was not supported.

The jury sat through three hours of the prosecution case before Chief Justice Crawford directed them to find Ms Parker not guilty.
