Judge Denies Bond for Woman Kajule Harvey Accused in Mother's Death

CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. - The woman accused of killing her mother appeared in court Friday moing, asking a judge to set her free.

Kajule Harvey is accused of plotting the death of her mother who was found stuffed in the trunk of a car. Harvey and her boyfriend, 22-year-old Latoris Grovner, are charged with killing Alena Marble.

Kajul Harvey, 21, and her boyfriend, 22-year-old Latoris Grovner are charged with killing Alena Marble, Harvey's mother.

Detectives say Grovner confessed to assaulting Marble and placing her body in the truck of a car. He also claimed to have planned the whole thing with Harvey's help. The body was found earlier in June outside the Southlake Apartment Complex in Jonesboro. Residents reported a strong smell coming from the car.

Harvey's lawyer asked for bond for his client. He said she is afraid of Grovner, and that he physically abused her over the years.

Prosecutors fought the bond request. The prosecutor said that she would do everything in her power to keep Harvey in jail for the rest of her life or seek the death penalty. She called the alleged crime the most heinous she had seen in her 26 years of experience.

The judge denied the bond request, stating there is a good chance that Harvey would end up fleeing.

Grovner was also scheduled to have a hearing, but it was canceled when his lawyer did not appear in court. Harvey and Grovner are being held in the Clayton County Jail.
