If convicted on the capital charge, Garrard faces death or life without parole; jurors would make a recommendation and the final decision would be up to the judge.

Bless all the little children.... thankful for true justice.

Garrard's lawyers whispering in her ear. Deputies standing behind her.

With them only taking 3.5 hours to return a verdict it didn't take them long to believe this was premeditated murder!!!!!!!!!!! She didn't fool them one bit.

RIP sweet Savannah. This shouldn't have happened to you and the jury agreed.

Blessings for Savannah's mother.
