BLOOMFIELD, Mo. – Walking hand in hand with her mother, Hester, 24-year old HEATHER RENAE ELLIS, trudged grim-faced into the Stoddard County Missouri Justice Center for a pre-trial hearing Wednesday afternoon. The former pre-med student faces four felony counts and possibly fifteen years in prison that stem from a January 2007 arrest after allegedly “cutting in line” at a Kennett, Missouri Wal-mart.

Pastor Nathan Ellis says of his daughter, “She’s fighting for her life. This has been an outright attempt to destroy her future and assassinate her destiny and I’m proud of her for the fact that she’s standing on truth.” But, confronted with a change of venue in the nearly three year old case, Ellis and her family did not have to come alone to the small ultra-conservative Southeast Missouri community of Bloomfield where her trial is scheduled for November 18th.
