Lorinda Swain's Appeal turned down

The Michigan Supreme Court voted 4-3 to not hear an appeal from Lorinda Swain. Steve Kelso of WoodTV8 in Grand Rapids reported Friday that her freedom remains up in the air. And in an interview with 24 Hour News 8, she made it clear she does not want to go back to prison.

Asked if she has any fight left in her, Swain said, "Not a lot, to be honest." She added, "But if I go back to the prison cell, I'm done fighting. I'll go to a segregation cell and I won't eat. And I'll be out of my misery."

The Calhoun County's prosecutor's office filed a motion on Monday, May 2nd, to revoke Lorinda's bond.
