Last night, we told you how the American couple, Anke and David Doehm were arraigned an remanded on the first charge that somehow links them to the death of their adopted daughter Faye Lin Cannon.
They are at prison awaiting their next adjournment date on the offense of "cruelty to a child", but it caused a great stir on Facebook today, when this picture was posted. We can't say for sure that this is Anke Doehm, but the rumors where that she was at a bank, when she should have been in jail. That led to all kind of speculation that she was being treated preferentially, or that she had been granted bail.
We've confirmed with multiple different authorities that she hasn't gotten a bail hearing as yet, but, the couple's attorneys are working hard to make that next step. Yesterday, Richard "Dickey" Bradley made the point that from his perspective they are entitled to bail since this only an allegation against them:
Dickie Bradley - Attorney for David Doehm
"There is a serious matter, a child has lost her life`. They are not charged for that matter. They are charged for somehow neglecting - that is what is on the charge sheet - due to their neglect of the child. Which is an allegation against them. It's a serious matter, but it is an allegation and from your experience you know the Supreme Court has granted bail to other persons who have had far more serious allegations that neglecting a child. So that we have said from the outset and we advised the two accused persons that it is a matter that should best be dealt with at the Supreme Court level. Speaking of the supreme court the learned DPP has also indicated that these allegations will not be tried in a magistrate court in Belie - that she is going to take it to a supreme court where there will be a jury and a judge and there is a more chance of a better ventilation of the pros and the cons of the matter."
It is expected that the attorneys will try to expedite a bail hearing before a Supreme Court judge.
