GRACE: This morning, baby Gabriel`s mommy refuses to come out of her jail cell for a court hearing. The judge orders the sheriff to get her to court using whatever means necessary.
What happened, Michael Board, joining us with WOAI Newsradio?
MICHAEL BOARD, REPORTER, WOAI NEWSRADIO: Well, Nancy, San Antonio Police here, they`re the lead investigative agency. They have been heading up this case. They`ve repeatedly -- they begged, they pleaded to meet with Elizabeth Johnson, ask her questions, figure out what happened to her beautiful little baby boy, to make sure he`s safe.
Well, Elizabeth Johnson doesn`t like that police are asking questions. So when her attorney relays these questions, she wants her attorney fired. The judge today in court has put Johnson in her place. The defense attorney he said is not fired.
The judge -- he really tries to be nice to Elizabeth Johnson, explain to her that what her attorney is doing for her is actually what`s best for her. All Elizabeth Johnson did there was sit there and sulk like a spoiled little brat.
She`s self-centered, all the stuff we`ve heard about her actually proving to be true in court today, Nancy.
GRACE: Michael Board, joining us, WOAI, not a word from her in court about baby Gabriel. Not one word.
Matt Zarrell, our producer on the story, what more can you tell me?
MATT ZARRELL, NANCY GRACE STAFFER, COVERING STORY: Well, the judge also had a number of other motions to consider, including granting or denying a motion to bar cameras from the courtroom, which means we could see Elizabeth Johnson`s trial on camera.
Another thing that they rejected is they rejected -- they allowed Elizabeth Johnson to not have to attend anymore court hearings except her trial. She has refused in the past to leave her jail cell. That`s why they forced her out today.
GRACE: Out to the lines, Jenny in Georgia. Hi, Jenny.
JENNY, CALLER FROM GEORGIA: Hi, how are you?
GRACE: I`m good, dear. What`s your question?
JENNY: I just wanted to say, you do absolutely great. I watch you all the time. God bless you and your children.
GRACE: Thank you. Thank you.
JENNY: I just wanted to say, I don`t understand -- this girl is not helping. We know something happened to her child. She`s not telling anybody, she`s not talking. What can someone like in your -- as a prosecutor -- what can we do to get the truth?
GRACE: Do you think, Dr. Jeff Gardere, we`ll ever get the truth of her?
GARDERE: I think eventually the truth may come out. But at this point she`s acting like a brat. This is a young woman who is narcissistic, immature, and she won`t cooperate, and I think part of that is because of the guilt she`s experiencing.
