A Gwinnett judge stood by a previous ruling Wednesday that the siblings of a 10-year-old girl who was allegedly killed by her parents cannot live with either of their grandmothers.
In April, Gwinnett Juvenile Court Judge Robert L. Waller decided the children should stay in state custody, where they have been since police found Emani Moss' charred body in a garbage disposal in October and charged the parents with murder.
Wednesday, Pearlie Bashir, who is the mother of Emani’s stepmother, asked that the decision be reconsidered, but the answer remained the same, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Tiffany Moss, Bashir's daughter, and Emani's father, Eman Moss, are facing the death penalty for allegedly fatally neglecting and starving the girl.
The trial could be at least two years away, Channel 2 said.
