GADSDEN, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama woman on trial for murder in her granddaughter's death called out the child's name time after time as the girl lay on the ground after collapsing, but didn't tell medics the girl had run for hours, according to evidence presented Tuesday.
Joyce Hardin Garrard, 49, is heard repeatedly calling the name of 9-year-old Savannah Hardin in the more than 11-minute 911 recording played in an otherwise silent courtroom.
The child's stepmother, Jessica Mae Hardin, told the 911 operator the girl had a seizure. Garrard talked in the background.
"Savannah, open your eyes," Garrard is heard saying.
"Savannah. Savannah," Garrard says.
"How is she doing?" operator Lori Beth Beggs asks.
"We can't get her to come to," Hardin responds.
