AP:
2 charged in death of Ala girl forced to run
ATTALLA, Ala. (AP) – Roger Simpson said he looked down the road and saw a little girl running outside her home but didn’t give it another thought. Police, however, said the man witnessed a murder in progress.
Authorities say 9-year-old Savannah Hardin died after being forced to run for three hours as punishment for having lied to her grandmother about eating candy bars. Severely dehydrated, the girl had a seizure and died days later. Now, her grandmother and stepmother who police say meted out the punishment were taken to jail Wednesday and face murder charges.
I wonder if Michelle Obama will be subpoenaed as a defense witness.
As reported, this story doesn’t make much sense.
When did she go to the hospital?
What does the seizure have to do with it?
