Mom accused of throwing baby from Allentown bridge held for trial

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (WPVI) -- The mother accused of killing her baby by tossing him from an Allentown bridge is heading to trial.

19-year-old Johnesha Perry waived her preliminary hearing Friday morning.

Police say she walked her one-year-old son Zymeir to the Hamilton Street Bridge last month, kissed him goodbye, then pushed him over the edge.

Officers managed to rescue him, but he died days later.

Perry also jumped over the bridge but survived.

She's charged with homicide.
