Ringgold foster mom going back to court on murder charge

Ringgold foster mom going back to court on murder charge | Times Free Press:

Clara Louise Edwards, the Ringgold, Ga., foster mom accused of killing a 2-year-old girl, is going back to court. Superior Court Judge Ralph Van Pelt Jr. this week granted a prosecutor's motion for a new trial, allowing the state to retry Edwards on a charge of felony murder. Last month, a jury convicted Edwards of first-degree cruelty to children but acquitted her on a charge of malice murder — Georgia's way of alleging the killer intended to take a life.
