well - here's why they were released: (have this in my notes)
7/25/18 Update: Case goes to Grand Jury. The pair were initially arrested on March 9 on the endangerment charges but were released pending trial. They were re-arrested after the charges were upgraded to murder and were held in jail pending Tuesday’s detention hearing. During their first appearance last week, the public defender assigned to the case argued the facts of the case were unchanged from March when Brouchausen and Herring were first arrested and granted release. The pair are not required to post bail on account of New Jersey’s criminal justice and bail reforms. (Article says they have been released).
and nope - have no other court site that you can check!
Thanks a bunch though!

Mom didn't waste any time asking for $$$. She set up a fundraising campaign on a site called plumfund. They shut it down after $400 was raised. She wrote:
"My son went into Cardiac Arrest on Valentine’s Day. He has extensive brain damage from brain swelling. I need help raising money to fund his memorial for cremation."

Oh - so it wasn't the "time-out" they gave their 4 month old?? LOL! Cardiac arrest? Didn't know cardiac arrest cause extensive brain damage from brain swelling?? Maybe the blanket they covered him from head to toe smothered him!!

Actually, cardiac arrest can lead to edema/swelling on the brain although I haven't seen anything in msm about swelling, just that Hunter had minimal brain activity. What mom left out was step 1 - suffocation can lead to cardiac arrest. But I guess including it would have put a crimp in her sob story. In the end though it got shut down.
I've been wondering about Hunter's twin (I won't mention names) and whether or not she was also at the motel. There wasn't anything in msm that I saw saying one way or another. I did see on Brianna's FB page that according to one of her own posts there was an investigation into abuse or neglect of the twin.
The reason I wonder is because it seems to me if one twin was crying nonstop the other would also start crying - if both babies were in the motel room.

Yeah, put that infant in a time-out with a blanket that will make it hard for him to breathe. That'll teach him. I'll bet when he stops breathing, he won't cry anymore. That ought to show him not to be so loud -- even if something hurts, or he's wet or hungry, or his shirt is too tight around his neck, or, or, or.
A beautiful four-month-old son -- a gift that so many want but may not ever have.

A trial date has not yet been set.
New Jersey parents indicted, accused of smothering infant in ‘timeout’
Wow, mom's picture is a lot different from the one on her IG. I hope it's just weight gain and she's not pregnant.
