AUGUSTA – A Kennebec County Superior Court judge Wednesday set bail for a woman convicted in the death of her foster daughter at a much higher level than what her lawyer sought.
Justice Thomas Delahanty II set bail for Sally Schofield at $100,000 cash or $250,000 in property.
Her attorney, Jed Davis, requested that bail be set at $15,000 cash or $75,000 in property.
Prosecutors argued that Schofield is a flight risk.
In addition to facing a long prison term, Schofield is unemployed, separated from her husband, has lost her home in Chelsea and has relatives in Canada, Assistant Attorney General Andrew Benson said.
By late Wednesday, Schofield had not met the bail requirements. She was returned to the Kennebec County Jail after the hearing.
Schofield, 41, was convicted last month of causing the Jan. 31, 2001, death of 5-year-old Logan Marr by covering her face and binding her to a highchair with 42 feet of duct tape and leaving her alone in the basement.
The former adoption caseworker for the Department of Human Services faces a penalty of up to 40 years in prison when she is sentenced for manslaughter. No sentencing date has been set.
