The trial of an Etowah County woman accused of making her
granddaughter run until she collapsed and died has been rescheduled.
Etowah County
Circuit Judge William Ogletree issued an order moving the trial for 49-year-old
Joyce Hardin Garrard to Feb. 23, 2015.
The order says the case has been rescheduled because of
procedural issues. A court clerk said details on the scheduled change weren't
available. The order says jurors will be summoned to fill out questionnaires in
mid-February.
Garrard's trial was expected to begin Sept. 22.
Prosecutors say the woman forced Savannah Hardin to run for about three hours
as punishment for a lie. The child collapsed and died days later.
Hardin has said she's innocent and blames the death on
medical problems.
