Georgia teen Sarah Grace Patrick accused of killing mom, stepdad denied bond



Supporters of Georgia teen Sarah Grace Patrick, who is accused of gunning down her church-going mom and stepdad while they were sleeping, wore “I Stand with Sarah” T-shirts to court as the 17-year-old was denied bond Tuesday.

Patrick turned herself in last month after she was accused of murdering her mother, Kristen Brock, 41, and stepfather, James Brock, 45, in their Carroll County home back in February.

During an emotional two-hour bond hearing, prosecutors argued the teen should remain locked up amid concerns she could potentially intimidate witnesses — including her 5-year-old sister who was the person who discovered her parents’ lifeless bodies.

Grieving relatives, too, urged the judge to keep the teen in prison ahead of her trial, saying they feared for their safety in the wake of the grim slayings.

“If the defendant can kill her own parents in such a violent manner, I fear for my own safety and the safety of my family and friends,” Kim Bowling, the stepfather’s sister, said, according to 11 Alive.

Patrick’s stepbrother, Trysten Brock, sobbed as he called his father “my Superman” — and claimed the accused killer would “absolutely attempt to flee rather than stand trial if given the opportunity.”

Meanwhile, Patrick’s supporters — including some wearing t-shirts brandishing her name — painted her as a church-going youngster with no prior criminal history.

“Hurting someone simply isn’t in her nature or character … she remained incredibly kind, respectful, and especially patient,” one supporter told the judge.

Her pastor told the court the young woman chose to get baptized, regularly attended services and called him from jail to pray in the wake of her arrest.

“She didn’t just show up on Sundays… She clearly found a place where she felt at home,” he said.

Still, the judge agreed with prosecutors’ concerns, citing her as a potential “significant flight risk” and “risk of witness intimidation.”

“This is not daytime court TV and this is not for entertainment. We’re here to simply apply the law … and I’m going to do that to the best of my ability,” Judge Jeffrey Hightower said.

Patrick, who is being charged as an adult, turned herself in last month after a warrant was issued for her arrest in the killings.

At the time, authorities said they had “mountains of evidence” that pointed to the teen.

She is accused of fatally shooting her mom and stepdad while they slept before leaving her younger sister to discover the bodies.

Patrick allegedly called 911 in the aftermath, authorities said.

In the months that followed, Patrick posted videos on social media asking for sympathy and “prayers for healing.”

“If you asked me about my mom and step dad, I’d say I miss them so much,” the accused killer wrote in one video featuring herself and family.

She also reportedly reached out to a true crime influencer — who goes by Allegedly Reportedly — in a bid to get her to help probe the murders.

“Why would you ask me to cover a case where you are going to get arrested for taking your parents’ lives,” the TikToker said in one of her videos, referencing Patrick’s request.

“She messaged me on Jun. 3 and said, ‘Look up Brock case,’” the creator said. “So I said, ‘Brock Turner? Brock, who?’ She said, ‘Kristin and James Brock.’ They’re my parents, and out of nowhere, a random Thursday night in February, someone came in my house with me and my 5-year-old sister and left my parents for me and my 5-year-old sister to wake up to.”

Patrick — who was arrested just weeks after that alleged exchange — has been charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault.

The judge set a trial date of Jan. 5, 2026, if Patrick is indicted by a grand jury for the murders.
