5/11 Joyce Garrard sentenced to life in Savannah Hardin running death case

"Etowah County Judge William "Billy" Ogletree today sentenced Joyce Hardin Garrard, 50, to life in prison without parole for forcing her granddaughter to run for hours until she collapsed and died.

Garrard, wearing a burgundy T-shirt, spoke briefly before the sentence was passed, telling Ogletree the only thing she would change would be "my granddaughter being with me as always." She added, "What you give me is what I'll have to do." "

In this article it verifies she has died.  Her attorney said she is now in heaven with Savannah.
Good thing I'm not the judge . . . guess I need to look in the mirror.  But this case has always sadden me.
