Oh how I hope this trial moves forward! I'm still sick that she has been out on bond the entire time. Why should she have been allowed this freedom when she was responsible for putting Darnell in a grave??

Wow i just came across this case and clicked the link to her fb, she was going back and forth in the comments and that usually a sign of someone who is guilty trying to get ppl to believe her bs story.

then to top it off she gets a bond as low as hers? I never heard of no shii like this. This is crazy!!!
 
Hey @Jewels53 - when you get time - could you see if there is a court date before the trial on July 13th? Or even if the trial is still on?

TIA!

@Niner

There is nothing else on the Calendar as of right now. I will need to check back. I may need a reminder.
 
It was around this time 2 years ago that little Darnell was brutally murdered by his caretaker and she's out enjoying her life. How sad is that?

Fly high little man, justice is coming.
 
@Jewels53 - just wondering if there might be an update by now?

TIA! - and no rush! :)
