A hearing is scheduled for today in a Gadsden courtroom in
the case of a 9-year-old Etowah county girl who was allegedly run to
death. Etowah County Circuit Judge
William Ogletree has set a hearing for Joyce Hardin Garrard. Garrard has asked
Ogletree to dismiss a charge accusing her of capital murder in the 2012 death
of her granddaughter Savannah Hardin. Prosecutors say Garrard made the girl run
for three hours as punishment for a lie about eating a candy bar. The child
collapsed and died three days later. Savannah Hardin's stepmother, Jessica Mae
Hardin, is charged with murder for allegedly allowing the punishment to take
place.
