A judge has been bombarded with threats after she granted bail to a Georgia daycare worker accused of battering a one-year-old boy.
Chief Magistrate Ann Marie Rose-Emmons released accused child abuser Yvette Thurston on a $44,000 bond on August 16.
Thurston, 54, of Bainbridge, is charged with leaving one-year-old Clay Weeks with a black eye and deep scratches on his face and neck after his first day at school.
District Attorney Joe Mulholland released a statement a few days after Thurston was released on bail condemning the threats sent to Rose-Emmons.
Mulholland said his office would prosecute anyone who sent menaces to the judge, saying it would 'not tolerate threats against our judges'.
