A Boyle County woman charged in the June murder of her step-granddaughter will not face the death penalty if she’s convicted.
Shila Raley entered a not guilty plea in court as the judge decided what Raley’s bond would be. The court also weighed the issue of the death penalty.
Raley’s 3-year-old step-granddaughter died in June of 2014. Police say that Alexa Raley was taken to a Danville hospital after being assaulted.
