The three people facing charges in the death of an adopted girl faced a judge for the first time in-person Wednesday morning for a bond and readiness hearing.
Leticia McCormack and her parents, Adella and Stanley Tom, had previously been arraigned virtually. They’ve all pleaded not guilty.

She said she did not find a precedent for that type of court order based solely on a suspect’s safety in custody. Lewis also pointed out that the three defendants are in protective custody — not with the general population in jail.
Aarabella McCormack’s biological mother, Torianna Florey, also attended the hearing. She held a framed picture of Aarabella and aimed it at the defendants during the hearing. As the three adults were escorted back into custody, Florey said loudly to McCormack, “You did this,” before walking out of the courtroom.
