A 49-year-old Gainesville, Georgia man is accused of stomping his 68-year-old mother while wearing work boots, breaking her foot and ankle. Bertha Holland was left on the floor of her Gainesville home for two days without food or water.
Two daughters found her on Dec. 16 and took her to a hospital.
Her son, James Douglas Holland, faces a hearing this week on
charges of elder abuse and family violence aggravated battery. A
probation revocation warrant was issued against Holland on
Wednesday.
It marks the eighth time he has been called into court for
allegedly violating his probation. Holland's sister, Eloise
Holland, can't understand why he's repeatedly released.
Holland's public defender attorneys declined to discuss his
case.
