Salia Hardy, 21, testified in a matter-of-fact way about how she helped burn and dispose of her own grandmother’s body.
She told a jury how her mother Candace Craig murdered Craig’s mother Margaret Craig. She said her mother then cut the 71-year-old woman’s body into pieces with a chain saw some of which she cooked on a grill. Her testimony led to a quick guilty verdict.Now Hardy, who pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact, is going free.
During Hardy’s sentencing hearing Wednesday, Prince George’s County Circuit Court Judge Karen Mason sentenced Hardy to probation. Hardy has been in jail since her arrest along with her mother in June 2023 for more than 500 days. Prosecutors credited Hardy’s cooperation and testimony with helping secure Candace Craig’s conviction. They also pointed out during the trial in October that Hardy has a developmental disability, and she is easily coerced.
On the witness stand after she described helping her mother buy a gas can, charcoal and a lighter which they used to try to burn her grandmother’s body, she was asked why she did it.Hardy will be on supervised probation for five years. Candace Craig will be sentenced in 2025.
