Jessica Mae Hardin, who faces charges for the death of her 9 year old step-daughter has been released from jail.

Nine year old Savannah Hardin collapsed and later died in February 2012 after authorities say she was made to run for hours as punishment for telling a lie about a chocolate bar.
The girl's grandmother, Joyce Hardin Garrard is being held without bond on a capital murder charge in connection with the child's death.
