Grandmother Takes Hamilton County JFS to Ohio Supreme Court

A case that Maislin has been involved with since 2015 has reached the Ohio Supreme Court.

The case surrounds 2-year-old Glenara Bates, whose parents abused and starved her to death. Since then, both parents have been charged and sentenced, her mother received 15 years to life in prison and her father being sentenced to death (later reversed and awaiting new trial).

Oral arguments took place on Wednesday, April 28th.
