A woman who forced her 9-year-old granddaughter to run so long that the girl died. A jury in Alabama convicted Joyce Hardin Garrard of capital murder yesterday in the 2012 death of young Savannah Hardin, reports NBC News. Jurors deliberated more than three hours, about the same amount of time that prosecutors say Garrard made the girl run in her yard as a punishment for lying about eating candy bars. She later suffered a seizure and died. Jurors will convene again to recommend whether the 49-year-old should get life in prison or the death penalty.
