## Resource

Grandma Christina Siders, locked up in the Vinton County child abuse case, is fighting for release after her legal team submitted a new motion citing a psychotherapy evaluation that found her no danger to herself or others. Prosecutors had argued her pending competency test justified jail time, but her defense says that’s an unfair trade-off between trial readiness and bail rights. Facing only two second-degree felony charges tied to one alleged victim — not direct abuse — and with no prior record, her attorneys are pushing for strict conditions like GPS and no contact if released. The judge hasn’t ruled yet on modifying her bond — and the outcome could set a precedent. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
