DETROIT (AP) — A 49-year-old a Detroit foster home worker
returns to court June 5 for a hearing on whether to try her for the
videotaped beating of a disabled woman with a mop handle and extension
cord.
Detroit police arrested Kadia Konate-Dennard after WJBK-TV broadcast a video (http://bit.ly/1lM1DKA ) of the beating of the
24-year-old woman, who’s autistic and can’t speak.
The Associated Press left phone messages Tuesday and Wednesday seeking comment from defense lawyer Larry
Polk.
A
