WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) - A judge has refused to reduce bond for the 18-year-old woman charged with the death of her infant who was found unresponsive at a Willison hotel in April.

Hannah McMillin asked that her $1 million bond be lowered. KEYZ reports Northwest District Judge Benjamen Johnson denied that request Wednesday afternoon in Williams County Court.

McMillin was originally charged with child abuse, but a medical examiner determined the baby had been forcibly smothered and ruled the death a homicide. A pretrial conference set for Aug 20.



McMillin’s husband, Tank McMillin, is charged with child abuse. His next court appearance is in September.
