On January 20th in the Elmore County Courthouse, both John Hopkins and Tera Hathaway were brought before Judge Hodges following both individuals being charged independently with injury to a child. At no point did the two defendants see one another. Hathaway was brought into the courtroom first, accompanied by attorney Terry Ratliff. The judge explained to Ms. Hathaway that in a preliminary hearing, a determination is made by the judge to determine whether a case is well-founded and should continue to pre-trial and trial.
