Immigration Official: Prayer Position and Isabel Martinez

immigration official: Isabel Martinez, 33, appeared before Gwinnett County Magistrate Court Judge Michael Thorpe a day after police said she stabbed the five to death and seriously injured another child at her home, according to CTV. The surviving 9-year-old girl remained hospitalized with serious injuries. Also, an immigration official said the woman, who is from Mexico, entered the U.S. illegally. Before the hearing began, Martinez sat with other inmates and posed for cameras -- smiling, giving the thumbs up, putting her hands in a prayer position and spreading her arms out wide. Ma'am, I'm going to caution you to cut out the display for the cameras, he said. As Thorpe listed the charges -- five counts of malice murder, five counts of murder and six counts of aggravated assault -- Martinez smiled, shook her head no and wagged her finger at him.
