Lawyers for both Carolyn and Michael Riley asked Judge Patrick Hurley to release them while they await trial. They are currently being held without bail. Hurley did not immediately rule on the request. He scheduled a probable cause hearing for March 26.
Carolyn Riley told police that her psychiatrist, Dr. Kayoko Kifuji, diagnosed Rebecca with bipolar disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder when she was 21/2.
The girl was taking Clonidine, a blood pressure medication, for ADHD, as well as other prescription medications for bipolar disorder.
Bourbeau said that even though police claim Carolyn Riley frequently sought and received extra Clonidine pills for Rebecca, she gave her daughter only the amount prescribed by Kifuji.
