BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: Earlier in this broadcast, we did talk about the latest in northern Idaho. CNN's Eileen O'Connor now in Bonner County, where a hearing has been under way for the mother of those children who were holed up in their home last week. Eileen, has there been news from that hearing inside?</s>EILEEN O'CONNOR, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, there has, and it's an interesting wrinkle, Bill. Apparently, JoAnn McGuckin, the mother of the children -- she's charged with neglecting their basic needs -- she is refusing to be released on bail unless the charges are dismissed, she's allowed to be reunited with her children, and that she does not have to abide by any custodial orders, and also that the authorities apologize to her. Now, the judge did grant a motion at this remote hearing. She refused to appear, by the way, at the hearing. And she -- the judge granted a motion to release her on bail pending, though, some conditions, which were a waiver of extradition -- this is standard in felony cases -- and also that she would not violate custodial orders. The judge did refuse a prosecution request, though, that she not to return to the property. The property was sold by the county for unpaid taxes, and -- but the judge cited that there is no eviction notice and her personal effects are still there, so she could return to the property. But according to her attorney in this hearing, it looks like JoAnn McGuckin is refusing to leave the jail. And so, therefore, we're not sure what's going to happen right now. The prosecutor apparently is outside the jail talking. She can leave if she wants to, but it looks like she doesn't wants to.</s>HEMMER: All right, Eileen. Keep us posted out there in northern Idaho, Bonner County, and CNN's Eileen O'Connor with the latest from there. Eileen, thanks again.
