Bond set for grandmother accused in girl's death

ATLANTA - A Fulton County judge has set bond at $50,000 for an East Point woman accused of contributing to the death of her three-year-old granddaughter. <br> <br> Beverly Headspeth has not raised the money she needs to leave jail. But her attorney - Benjamin Davis - says he will talk with family members about helping her come up with the money. <br> <br> The 45-year-old Headspeth is charged with involuntary manslaughter, reckless conduct and contributing to the deprivation of a minor in connection with the death of her granddaughter, Alexis, in early August. <br> <br> Her trial is scheduled for October first. <br> <br> Superior Court Judge Bensonetta Tipton Lane wrote in granting the bond that there is little risk that Headspeth will flee the Atlanta area. <br> <br> Five days before the girl was held under water in the bathtub, Headspeth told a state caseworker that she could not stop her eleven-year-old son from beating children in the home. The eleven-year-old was in charge of Alexis&#39; bath the night she was injured.
