Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko tētahi wahine o Alabama i whakawakia mō te mate o tana mokopuna i te rerenga, i whakaatu i te Rāapa, ka'mate' ia i te whara i te kotiro iti, ā, ka whakakahore i tana mahi hei whiu. I haere a Joyce Hardin Garrard ki te tūruhi hei whakaatu i te kore o tana whakaaro ki te whara i a Savannah Hardin e iwa tau te pakeke. I te pātai a Richard Rhea, te roia o te kaitautoko, mēnā kua mahia e ia tētahi mea hei whara i a Savannah, i ētahi atu mokopuna rānei, ka whakahoki a Garrard, 'E pai ana ahau kia mate i mua.' I kii a Garrard, 49-tau te pakeke, kei te marae raua ko Savannah e kohi rakau ana, e korerorero ana, e haruru ana ki te inu wai, ki te takaro hoki. I kii ia e korero ana ia ki a Savannah te hiranga o te kore korero teka. I haere mai ki te tūru: I haere mai a Joyce Garrard, 49, ki te tūru hei tiaki i a ia anō i te Rāapa i roto i tana whakawakanga mō te whakapae i whakamate i tana mokopuna 10-tau-tau a Savannah Hardin mā te akiaki i a ia ki te rere hei whiu mō te teka mo te kai i te reka. 'I kohia e au nga rakau ki a ia no te mea i rite tonu taku whakaaro ki tana teka,' i kii a Garrard. E ai ki te hunga whakapae, i patua e Garrard te kotiro i te toru tau ki muri mā te whakahau i a ia kia rere hei whiu mō tana teka mō te tiakarete. 'He rite tonu ki te oma, ehara i te oma,' i kii a Garrard. E ai ki a Garrard he tamaiti tino kaha a Savannah, ko te huarahi anake hei pupuri i tana aro ko te neke haere tonu. 'Kei te hamama, kei te hamama, kei te haere haere,' e ai ki a Garrard. E ai ki a Garrard, tata ki te 40 meneti a rātau e kohikohi ana i ngā rākau, engari ko te nuinga o te rā i noho ai rātau ki te marae. Ka mea a ia kua ki atu a Savannah ki a ia me haere ia ki te wharepaku, ā, e rere ana rātau ki roto i te whare i te wā i hinga whakamuri ai te kotiro. I kii a Garrard i taua wā i mea ai ia ki te whaea o Savannah, a Jessica Mae Hardin, kia waea atu ki te 911. 'I whai whakaaro koe ki te whara i a Savannah?' I pātai a Rhea. 'Ehara i taua ra, i tetahi atu ra ranei,' ka whakahoki a Garrard. Te patunga: I whakapaehia e Garrad tana mokopuna, a Savannah Hardin (i te taha maui me te taha matau), 9, ki te rere ki tona mate i tona whare i Etowah County i te tau 2012 i muri i tana kitenga kua teka ia mo te kai i nga tiakarete aukati. Ko Garrard (i te pikitia, i te taha maui, i roto i tana pirihimana...
Ko Joyce Garrard, 49, e whakawakia ana mo te patu i a Savannah Hardin, 10 tau te pakeke mā te akiaki i a ia kia rere hei whiu mō tana teka mo te kai reka. I haere a Garrard ki te tūnga kaiwhakaatu i te Rāapa ki te kī kāore ia i whai kia kino ki a Savannah Hardin e iwa tau te pakeke. Kāore ngā roia a Garrard i whakakahore i te rerenga o te kotiro i mua i tana hinganga, engari i kī te rēhitatanga kāore i te hiahia te wahine ki te whara i tana mokopuna.
