Gava-Hudson stabbed her son three times
in the abdomen in Mississippi on Monday, October 5,
during an argument with her husband who screamed
for help and got one from a passer-by who called 911.
According to Police spokesman Sgt. Damon McDaniel,
investigators learned that an argument took place
between Gava-Hudson and her husband, the child’s
father, during which Gava-Hudson became “belligerent,”
brandished a knife and intentionally stabbed the child.
The child was taken to a local hospital and later
transferred to the University of South Alabama
Medical Centre where he was listed in stable condition
Wednesday afternoon.
The 26 year old mother appeared in court earlier
this week charged with attempted murder and is
being held on a $1 million bond. She could be
deported if she’s convicted of attempted murder.
The hearing before Judge Brandon Ladner on Monday
lasted less than 10 minutes.
Gava-Hudson was informed of the charge against her,
told she had the right to remain silent and the
right to have an attorney represent her.
She sobbed softly while being asked questions by
the court clerk and sobbed the loudest when asked
if she had any children, to which she replied she has
a three year old son.
Judge Ladner said he would appoint a public defender
to represent her, but also said she had the right
to hire a private attorney.
She was dressed in a red and white striped jail
jump suit and had leg shackles on. Gava-Hudson
had been on suicide watch at the Harrison County
Adult Detention Centre. The next step is a preliminary
hearing, where the charge against her will be
detailed with evidence and testimony. Judge Ladner
said that preliminary hearing will be held in the
next three to four weeks.
Meanwhile the Immigration and Customs Enforcement
has placed a detainer on her. After her arrest,
ICE asked the jail to hold her pending resolution
of the criminal charge.
