It makes me sick that poor Darnell has been dead in a grave by her hands and she's been out on bond almost the entire time. How is that fair/right in any form or fashion. He was just a sweet little boy left in the care of a monster.

It will be 5 years in October, justice delayed is justice denied.

MOO

Per my notes - she is no longer out on bond:

No bond changed (3/21/19) to $100K Cash ONLY bond. Bond reduced (9/30/19) to $5K Cash or Surety Bond. Out on bond 9/30/19. Rearrested 8/26/21 when indicted on new charges & held without bond. Bond reduction denied (3/16/22).
 
Per my notes - she is no longer out on bond:

No bond changed (3/21/19) to $100K Cash ONLY bond. Bond reduced (9/30/19) to $5K Cash or Surety Bond. Out on bond 9/30/19. Rearrested 8/26/21 when indicted on new charges & held without bond. Bond reduction denied (3/16/22).
Well, that made my day. I wondered about that because of the additional charge of destruction of jail property.

Good, sit down and zip it QG.

Why I am NOT surprised that it was continued..... :(
 
Just reading the Judge's name - do you it is Cotton Walker OR Walker Cotton?? I have been adding Judges' names to my notes.

What do you (anyone) think about the name?

It's Judge Cotton Walker according to this article:
"Cole County Circuit Judge Cotton Walker denied a request for bond release of the caretaker responsible for the 2018 death of 4-year old Darnell Gray... "
Caretaker denied bond release in 2018 murder case
 
Okay - thanks a bunch! :)
You're welcome. I couldn't tell from looking at the docket or whatever, whether it was first name first or last name first, so I had to look it up, or my brain would hurt wondering ;) I've only seen those names as last names, not together. I went to school with a George Walker and Tim Cotton.

Do not know any one named Cotton - that is a new one on me! :)

Do I smell a plea deal coming here? It's been close to 5 years since little Darnell was murdered, unacceptable.
