Kimberly Sullivan attended a pretrial hearing Friday after rejecting plea offers and choosing to take her case to trial. Sullivan is accused of holding her stepson captive in their Connecticut home for 20 years. Her stepson, now 32, set fire to the house in an attempt to escape, according to police. During the hearing, Sullivans defense requested that her GPS monitor be removed, citing no previous issues with the monitor. The judge ultimately rejected the request. Sullivans next court date is scheduled for October 20. #CourtTV - What do YOU think?
