An attorney for a pregnant woman awaiting trial on capital murder charges said his primary concern is to ensure she and her unborn child are taken care of and an investigation is conducted.
Latoni Daniel, 26, of Alexander City, who is eight months pregnant, has been in jail with no bond for 17 months while waiting for trial in the December 2017 robbery and shooting death of Thomas V. Chandler, 87, of Goodwater.
