Bond Denied For Summers County Man
WEST VIRGINIA....
Nineteen year old James R.L. Meadows was charged with murder and death by a custodian after 18-month-old Isabella Danielle Hurley died last month after being declared brain dead and removed from life support at Women and Children’s Hospital in Charleston. The state medical examiner said Isabella sustained brain and abdomen injuries, and State police say an autopsy report showed the injuries were inconsistent with Meadows’ claim that the child fell off a couch and bed several times. Hurley’s bond had been reduced to $75,000, but, during a hearing Friday, Meadows was denied bond. Summers County Prosecutor Amy Mann explained that because Meadows is charged with a capital crime, he is not entitled to bond unless a circuit judge chooses to set bond. The child’s mother, 24 year old Cristen Lynn Hurley, was charged with child abuse resulting in injury and child neglect resulting in death. A status hearing for both defendants is set for January 28th.
