DC Woman to be Sentenced for Slaying Four Children
A woman in D.C. convicted of killing her four daughters and keeping their decomposing bodies for months will return to court for sentencing on Friday. Banita Jacks was found guilty of the four first-degree murders in July. She is currently expected to be sentenced to life in prison.
Defense lawyers are still questioning Jacks’ refusal to plead insanity. They have asked Judge Frederick H. Weisburg to appoint an independent counsel to investigate why she didn’t use it, and whether she should have. United States Marshalls found the four bodies of Jacks’ daughters, aged between five and seventeen, in January of 2008 when they arrived at her house to evict her.
