Teen accused of grandmother's murder to face judge
News

ST. CLAIR COUNTY, AL (WBRC)- A St. Clair County teenager accused of smothering his grandmother to death has had his preliminary hearing delayed.

The
hearing was scheduled for Tuesday for 19-year-old Joseph Batson, but it
has now been moved to February 19. Police say Batson suffocated
59-year-old Mavis Batson with a pillow last November.

The only motive released was that the teenager was angry with his grandmother.
