No bond for mom charged with aggravated murder of toddler
Andrea Bradley arraigned in death of Glenara Bates
CINCINNATI -- A mother accused of torturing her 2-year-old daughter to death will be held without bond.
Andrea Bradley was arraigned Wednesday morning in a Hamilton County court. A grand jury indicted her April 8 on charges of aggravated murder, murder and felony child endangerment in the death of daughter Glenara Bates.
The child’s father, Glen Bates, faces the same charges. He was arraigned Monday and also ordered to be held without bond.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters has said he’ll pursue the death penalty against Bradley and Bates if a jury finds them guilty.
At Wednesday morning’s hearing, Bradley’s attorney said there are no concerns as to his client’s competence to stand trial.
Bradley and Bates were charged with felony child endangering on March 29 shortly after taking their already dead daughter to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.
The charges against the parents were upgraded to murder after Hamilton County Coroner Lakshmi Kode Sammarco completed an autopsy on the toddler.
