Police say an Alabama grandmother of a 9-year-old girl was forced to run to as a form of punishment for a lie about eating a candy bar.

The grandmother Joyce Garrard Hardin made the little girl carry a bundle of wood for nearly 3 hours as she runs for miles and hours as punishment. The 9-year-old finally collapsed and later died at a hospital. Hardin has been jailed since Feb, 22, 2012 and her trial has been delayed twice. Hardin has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial. Hardin could be facing capital murder charges. Check out what Nancy Grace had to say about the story...
