NEWTON, N.C. -- Elisa Baker, who is charged with second-degree murder in the death of her stepdaughter, collapsed in a courtroom during a hearing Monday.
Baker is charged in the death of 10-year-old Zahra Baker, whose remains were found in November of last year.
It’s unclear what caused Baker to collapse during the hearing in Newton.
During the hearing, defense lawyer Scott Reilly said he will push to move any trial out of Catawba County because of all the publicity the case has received.
