Two remain in jail in midwifery case
By ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRADENTON - A judge ruled that two women, sentenced for practicing midwifery without a license, should remain in prison, ignoring a higher court ruling that they should be free on bond pending an appeal. Linda McGlade, 55, and her daughter-in-law, Tanya McGlade, 27, were sentenced to 2½ years in prison in June. State Circuit Judge Edward Nicholas said Thursday he was worried the women would continue to deliver babies and are a threat to public safety. The McGlades aided a relative during a 2004 birth. Mara McGlade, 25, bled to death internally two days after delivering a healthy baby boy at home.
