Judge allows trick-or-treat request for mom in hot car death

Welcome back. Police say Deja Coleman dropped her other two kids off at daycare, but left her son Daniel in her car where he died while she went to work. Fox says Ray Adena was in the courtroom when Coleman made the request to spend Halloween with her other children. And he joins us live from the Gwinnett County Courthouse in Lawrenceville. Ray, what did that judge have to say? Well, Alex, Deja Coleman went back to court after her attorney sought to modify or clarify her bond. And ultimately, the judge says that she can go trick-or-treating with her children inside of her complex. Now Coleman who is out on bond and wearing an ankle monitor appeared in a Gwinnett County courtroom this morning alongside her attorney Trinity Hundredmark and prosecutors argued that Coleman who faces charges of second degree murder and cruelty to children for the death of her 16 month old son in July is a danger to children and the community. The state argued that Coleman who lives in a transitional housing complex should be confined to her home and opposed to her being around children and parents during community activities. But Coleman's attorney argued the activity falls under therapeutic programming and promotes normalcy with her family. This is a mother that wants to be a mother. She wants to parent and we believe that's what your bond order had originally wanted her to do. You didn't put any restrictions on her ability to parent and have her children and to not allow her to have trick-or-treating with her kids is simply punishment to her. State understands that she is not charged with intentional murder, but she's still charged with negligence to the point that a child is dead, a one-year-old. And again, the judge is allowing Deja Coleman to spend Halloween trick-or-treating with her children, but she cannot leave her complex. The judge also allowed Coleman to work the front desk at her complex to offset her room and board. Reporting live in Gwinnett County, Ray Adena, Fox 5 News. We have that family trying to find some joy in a difficult time. Ray, thank you.
