29 YEAR OLD MELISSA BAILEY SAT IN THE COURTROOM ALL DAY HARDLY SAYING A THING AND HARDLY REACTING AS THE JUDGE READ THE SIX FELONIES SHE'S FACING.

THE CHARGES DATE BACK TO 2009 WHEN DEPUTIES ARRESTED HER IN ONE IF THE WORST CASES THEYVE INVRSTIGATED.

DETECTIVES SAY BAILEY LET HER 59 year old boyfriend rape HER 18 month old girl.

Sot carp "they'd been having sex with this baby- both of them since the child was born."

WE CAUGHT UP WITH GLENN NELSON IN THIS JAIL HOUSE INTERVIEW. HE ADMITTED TO HAVING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY BUT SAID HIM AND BAILEY ONLY TALKED ABOUT RAPING TE BABY

nelson "it's all in there all the time about fantasies- not reality that was happening- it was fantasizing and talking about it."

NELSON IS IN PRISON AFTER HE AGREED TO A PLEA DEAL LAST YEAR.

WE LEARNED TODAY TGE LAWYER REPRESENTING BAULEY WILL USE INSANITY AS A DEFENSE.

A DOCTOR HAS RULED BAIKEY FIT TO STAND TRIAL.

Soy from old pkg went something like this" she's nuts, she had a tumor"

We also learned BAILEY REJECTED A PLEA DEAL BEFORE THE TRIAL BEGAN.

SHE COULD FACE LIFE IN PRISON IF CONVICTED.

WHILE PICKING JURORS, LAWYERS WARNED TE POOL ABOUT GRAPHIC PHOTSOS AND A VIDEO THEY'D SEE AS JURORS ALL PART OF WHAT DETECTIVES SAY MAKES THIS ONE OF THE WORST CASES TEYVE INVESTIGATED.

SPEAKING OF THE BALLOT -- DON'T BE CONFUSED IF THE BALLOT IN THE VOTING BOOTH IS SHORTER THAN THE MORE COMPREHENSIVE SAMPLE BALLOT.

IT'S A NEW FEDERAL PROGRAM THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY LAUNCHED.

AND AS A-B-C SEVEN'S GABY FLEISCHMAN REPORTS,

IMMIGRANTS TEMPORARY REPRIEVE-PKG

The smell and sizzle of mexican chiles rellenos is a reminder of where the navarro family came from.

Nats cooking

Since jaqueline and her family moved to us more than 10 years ago-- their house in immokalee has become home.

Her youngest son jose was just 3 years old when they moved from mexico-- american life is all he knows.

Jose: "1:34:20 I've got my friends my school everything"

Jose starts high school next week and says he wants to be a lawyer--

But knows that can't happen if he's not a citizen.

1:35:51 lost hope for a while

That hope renewed with the 'deferred action for childhood arrivals" program which gives young undocumented immigrants a two year temporary citizenship.

"1;37:28 that's my dream and I hope if this goes through then I might have a chance."

To qualify applicants need to be younger than 31-- entered the us before turning 16.

They need to be enrolled in school, or have earned a degree-- and can't have a lengthy criminal history.

Kids like jose could get bbenifits like a drivers lisence and social security number.

Jaqueline has already started a file with everything her three sons need to apply.

"1:41:50 todos teniamos miedo"

Like many others, she at first feared

Identifying her kids as illegal immigrants could cost them down the line-- possibly getting deported when the temporary reprive is up.

Armando Galello, catholic charities

"1:28:50 bc of their non status in the us a lot of them are afraid that something may change."
