Attorneys Scott Smith and Renee Rockwell, representing Paul and Sheila Comer, respectively, argued that the couple should be granted bond and allowed to wear ankle monitors. Defense attorneys argued that there were holes in Mitchs claims and no proof of the allegations.
Renee Rockwell, a lawyer for Sheila Comer, said her client is "standing by her not guilty plea." Rockwell said she hopes a judge grants her client bond at an Oct. 4 hearing, saying her client is not a flight risk and that her son has been removed from the home.
