The 33-year-old is accused of using drugs to put the infant to sleep at least 15 times before she passed away.
Appearing in court today, the mother, who was reportedly gurning, flew into a rage after realising she was being filmed.
DENIAL
According to News Center Maine, she refused to stop glaring and swearing at journalists during the hearing, in which she denied one count of endangering the welfare of a child and possession of a Schedule Z.
Court papers reportedly state that the coroner determined Jordy had synthetic opioid fentanyl in her system.
The drug is a painkiller that is often mixed with heroin.
The mum allegedly confessed to using heroin at least once a week when her daughter died.

Claims that she had rubbed the drugs into her daughter’s gums came when the baby’s dad,
Shane Smith, told police he had witnessed it.
He said that she said she had always done it to get her older children to sleep and “didn’t hurt our daughter on purpose.”
DRUGS ONLINE
Despite the shocking allegations, Nelligan reportedly took to Facebook to post images of drugs in June this year.
She uploaded the pictures along with the caption ‘yay buddy’.
She later slammed Ohio cheerleader Skylar Richardson, 20, who was convicted of burying her baby daughter’s corpse last week.

She said: “Kills me I would do anything to have my baby back stupid bitch she is.”
Following today’s hearing, Nelligan was released on bail and ordered not to take any drugs other than cannabis.
She has also been banned from contacting her children or Smith.
