The Jackson mother charged in the death of her nine-month-old son will face a jury.

A judge decided there was enough evidence to put Amber Murphy on trial for open murder, during a preliminary hearing Tuesday.

Seth Murphy died in 2009, killed by blunt force trauma to the head.

Prosecutors weren't able to issue charges until this past summer, after a witness came forward.
