According to Kristin’s lawyer, public defender LaToya Williams, her family is sitting in solidarity with Sarah Grace.
According to Williams, there is no chance that Patrick won’t show up for court, and the people in the Carrollton neighborhood are ready to let her stay with them. According to her, Patrick is presently in solitary confinement due to worries about her presence in the general jail population at the age of 17.

According to the AJC’s earlier account, Patrick contacted 911 at around 7:30 a.m. on the morning of the killings after the younger child discovered the two dead.
Kristin Brock’s father, Dennis Nolan, promised a $5,000 prize for information. His daughter has been with her spouse for almost ten years, he previously told the AJC. Kristin Brock had two older children from a previous marriage, and they had a daughter together.

Fearing that Patrick would be violent against them, run away from the state, or tamper with witnesses, including the 6-year-old girl, James Brock’s family begged the judge not to grant her bond.
Kim Bowling, James Brock’s sister, stated, “I fear for my own safety as well as the safety of my family and friends if the defendant can kill her own parents in such a violent, violent manner.”
Throughout the hearing, Patrick, who was dressed in a jail outfit and had her hair in a braid, sobbed and wiped her eyes. As Superior Court Judge Dustin Hightower declared that the prosecution had satisfied its legal burden to prove she should not be granted bond, she broke down in tears.
“I do not want anyone to sit in jail unnecessarily,” Hightower stated, outlining future dates for court procedures to expedite the trial.
“What I can do is give this young lady speedy justice,” he continued.
Later on Tuesday, a grand jury was supposed to consider an indictment in Patrick’s case. According to the judge, provided there are no delays, the trial should start on January 5.
