The attorney for the woman accused of forcing her stepdaughter to run to death released a statement on her behalf Friday.
Morgan Cunningham and Vincent Pentecost said, "At this time Jessica Hardin is incredibly devastated over Savannah's death. Unfortunately whenever a child passes away our society wants to place blame, our media wants to sensationalize and our elected officials want to make grandiose statements that are not based in fact. We ask that the public not make judgments based upon rumors and assumptions and allow the judicial process to run its course at which time we believe Jessica Hardin's innocence will be established." Hardin and her mother-in-law were charged Wednesday in the death of 9 year old Savannah Hardin. The Etowah County Sheriff's Office says the child was forced to run for three hours on Friday as punishment for lying about eating a candy bar. Savannah Hardin died on Monday.
