| Joyce Garrard |
A judge has delayed the trial of an
Alabama woman charged in the running death of her 9-year-old granddaughter.
Joyce Garrard is now expected in
court on September 22. Etowah County Circuit Judge William Ogletree made the
change Friday to move to delay the trial initially set for June 23. The judge
said he acted out of an abundance of caution to give the defense additional
time. Judge Ogletree also rejected a request from the defense to dismiss the
case over allegations that prosecutors failed to turn over information about
possible expert witnesses.
Garrard faces a capital murder
charge. She denies accusations that she killed Savannah Hardin making her run
for three hours as punishment for lying.
The girl's stepmother, Jessica Mae
Hardin, faces a murder charge. She has pleaded not guilty.
