Grandmother found gulity of murder after making her 9 year old grand daughter run for 3 hours and died

An Alabama jury has found a woman guilty of capital murder after she made her 9-year-old granddaughter run for three hours as punishment - causing her to collapse and die.

Joyce Hardin Garrard faces the death penalty or life without parole for the February 2012 death of Savannah Hardin, after the verdict was delivered on Friday. 

 

Garrard showed no reaction when the verdict was read, but she hugged her three attorneys before being led out of court by deputies. She glared toward the audience as she walked out silently.
