In a hushed Apalachicola courtroom Monday afternoon a grieving father relived the pain of his young son’s murder and then watched as the boy’s grandmother was sent to state prison for what likely will be the rest of her life Circuit Judge Angela Dempsey sentenced 73-year-old Marianne Bordt to 21 years and six months for drowning her American-born grandson Bordt said nothing other than the necessary yeses and noes as she stood for sentencing throughout a slideshow that accompanied her former son-in-law Dave Hiers’ victim impact statement as images unfolded of the vibrant child whose brief life she ended violently prosecutors sought the death penalty for Bordt on a charge of first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse had laid the groundwork for an insanity defense that would have argued Bordt suffered dementia and depression from a skull fracture she sustained as a 5-year-old when the Russians bombed her childhood home of Breslau in October 1944 After the first trial date last July was scrapped but last week State Attorney Willie Meggs and Assistant State Attorney Robin Myers agreed to a plea deal with Public Defender Nancy Daniels which will mean Bordt likely will be at least 90 before she could be released the first-degree murder charge was reduced to second degree and the child abuse charge dropped Dempsey granted Bordt credit for 995 days served some of which was served in the Leon County Jail but most of it in the Florida State Hospital in Chattahoochee where Bordt had been sent in December 2010 to be restored to competency She also was ordered to pay $770 in fines and costs Dave Hiers is the plaintiff in an ongoing wrongful death lawsuit in federal court in which he contends Bordt was culpable and her husband negligent during their weeklong vacation on St who

software engineer who met his wife while working for several years in Germany divided into sections that covered his initial reaction his coping with the grief and his feelings toward Bordt Karin Hiers has not participated in the case and now lives in the Atlanta area during which he was told about Camden’s death trying to maintain the explosion happening in my mind physical pain and emptiness that has not yet left me since that moment.” He recounted the joys of raising his only son and described a chilly relationship with his ex-wife The couple divorced when Camden was just 18 months old

after he returned home to find his grandson dead and his wife soaking wet from trying to drown herself in the Gulf she told him she didn’t want her son to grow up in a broken home Dave Hiers addressed that alleged statement in his remarks “This ‘excuse’ makes no sense to me at all — or to anyone I know,” he said He was just starting sports and loved playing outdoors that some of the other children envied Camden as he bragged about having two houses He also told me many times that he loved his mommy,” Dave Hiers said “He was afraid of the dark and ‘monsters under the bed’ like any child his age I told Camden that monsters were not real … but I was wrong Camden did need saving from a real-life monster that took his precious life from us.” who said after the hearing that he has been greatly helped by his involvement with Compassionate Friend meetings told the court he is trying to rebuild his life “I had so much hope for the upcoming years with Camden here I had so much hope and anticipation about the future — to watch him go through all the stages of childhood teenager and then finally adulthood,” he said I have lost my bearings and feel adrift and lost in the world Every
