I’m so sorry I didn’t reply sooner! I am having a living estate/downsizing auction on Thursday and have been very busy going through personal property items, doing repairs to the house, etc. I am going to be so happy once the auction is done!
I have looked and looked but to no avail. Whether the arraignment did take place, or it has been rescheduled again, either way, I would think there would be an update, IMO. So I just sent and an email to the author of the nj.com article JerseyGirl posted upthread to see if she could help. I will let everyone know as soon as I hear back from her.

"A Bridgeton woman accused of killing, burning and dismembering her 23-month-old son, then reporting he had been abducted, entered a not-guilty plea during her post-indictment arraignment on Monday morning.
Nakira M. Griner, 25, was indicted in June on first-degree murder and other charges in the death of Daniel Griner Jr."
Malestein noted Monday that the competency evaluation was received last week, which cleared the way for the arraignment.
“The doctor that evaluated her indicated that she was fit to proceed, which is a minimal standard,” the judge said. “She knows the nature of the proceedings and the roles of the respective parties in the courtroom.”

BRIDGETON – A city woman charged with beating to death and incinerating her 23-month-old son says she didn't do it.
Monday’s hearing before Judge Robert Malestein picked up where the case had stalled in July.
Malestein said the doctor’s report was received Thursday and determined Griner was sound enough to participate in court proceedings.

I couldn’t find any media coverage on the hearing that was scheduled for Monday.
I was able to access the court site, but per NJ statutes, “(o)nly defendants with a case(s) on which he or she was convicted and sentenced in Superior Court, will display in your search results.”

I know this isn't related at all, but it gives me goosebumps, knowing that Dulce Maria Alavaz is missing from Bridgeton.
Poor darling Daniel- what a cruel and evil death this darling baby suffered. All because he wouldn't eat or listen. He probably was teething or not feeling well, and this bleep killed him. So many couples would have loved to have had a little boy like Daniel. Why do these poor babies end up with God awful parents, when there's plenty in the world that would give anything to have a precious child of their own to love, spoil, and comfort?

Looks like she had a hearing last Friday, 1/10.
Woman accused in son's death seeks to block use of police interview
Jan 11, 2020
BRIDGETON – Whether a video statement Bridgeton resident Nakira M. Griner gave hours before police charged her with killing and burning her 23-month-old son can be used as evidence was the subject of a hearing Friday in Cumberland County Superior Court.
The hearing before Judge Robert Malestein lasted about three hours but did not result in a decision.
The hearing included a partial review of the recorded interview, taken the night of Feb. 8, 2019, at the Bridgeton Police Department. The court's video review resumes in about two weeks.

Griner, 25, is held in Cape May County's jail.

She’s probably the most hated person in our county in a long time.
She honestly tried to tell the police she was jumped and they took the stroller with Daniel in it but she still had her younger son on her? We called it extremely early because it was broad daylight. Yeah people get jumped and beat up, but no one was buying that these girls also decided to kidnap her one son for some reason?
Everyone was attacked by her family for “victim blaming” for simply pointing out her ever changing story and how it would have had to have been the perfect crime.
Everyone knows everyone. Someone would have known one of the people who did it or who talked about having “beef” with her. So it ESPECIALLY wasn’t adding up.
How dare she plead not guilty and take her husband through this trial .
