Serial Stowaway Marilyn Hartman Due For Virtual Court Hearing
On Friday, Hartman will go back before a judge. This time, because of COVID-19, she will appear in court via Zoom.
CHICAGO (CBS) — Chicago’s infamous serial stowaway, Marilyn Hartman, is no stranger to airports — or courtrooms. On Friday, Hartman will go back before a judge. This time, because of COVID-19, she will appear in court via Zoom.
Hartman was released from Cook County Jail and put on home monitoring in late March after being attacked at the jail, and also after the pandemic became a concern for inmates. In the attack on Hartman earlier in March, the offending inmate had some kind of episode — possibly a mental health issue, sources said at the time. The inmate repeatedly struck Hartman and another inmate’s head against a number of hard surfaces.
