Tuesday, March 9th:

A judge has ordered the state to follow the public records law and not release the Marianne Bordt's police interviews to the public and to keep autopsy photos under wraps.

The 71 year-old woman is accused of drowning her 5-year-old grandson in the bathtub while they were vacationing on St. George Island last month.

A trial date has not been set.

The judge has asked the state to decide whether it will pursue the death penalty in the case. The next hearing is scheduled for May 11th.

My conclusion is there is no written confession. She did not speak English and the Franklin County Investigators by their own admission were not able to communicate with her because of the Language Barrier. How in the world are they able to drum up a confession, they are not. The husband is the one saying she confessed and he could have just as easily done it as she.

I want the husband to show some integrity before I just flatly take him for his word and you should too. He could have just as easily killed the child as she. The only evidence that she killed the child is him saying she did. How do you know he is telling the truth. Does he demonstrate integrity to you? He dosen't to me.
