The People vs Margaret Ruth Brill
Ms. Brill is back in police custody after her court arraignment hearing. Judge Lisa Novak granted prosecutors the ability to triple her bail, bringing the total to $150,000. Brill’s defense attorney, Michael Armstrong, had previously negotiated the ability for her to be out on bail, if she entered the Women’s Recovery Association treatment program. That right has since been taken away. The pretrial conference will be held at 1:30 on October 4, 2011.
