Maryland jurors have convicted a 16-year-old girl of soliciting the slaying of her father who was stabbed to death outside the family's Hagerstown home on Halloween.
The Washington County Circuit Court deliberated about 90 minutes Wednesday before finding Danielle Black guilty of solicitation of first-degree murder.
She faces up to life in prison when she is sentenced.
The 20-year-old man charged in the death of 47-year-old Billie Lee Black is not the same friend she spoke to on a school bus about killing her father.
The girl contends she only wanted her father roughed up, not killed. She told police she had asked some friends to "take care of" him to end beatings she claimed she suffered. Police haven't been able to verify her claims of abuse.
If one person solicits another person to “take care of” of someone else, they are NOT asking for that someone else to be “roughed up”.
I hope the jury sees through her BS.
Ooops. Sorry. It looks like they DID see through it. She was convicted!
Sorry.
I wonder if that girl is a sociopath...
No car for her!
She doesn’t even seem very sorry that her dad was dead according to her statement. Geez. Probably wouldn’t let her stay out late or have an Iphone.....Glad the jury saw through her BS story. Sad she will have to spend the rest of her life in prison....Hope she can find GOD and repent for her actions. She is going to have a VERY LONG time to think about how she ended up in this situation.
Her guilt aside, I would hope that juries take a bit more time to convict than it takes to go out to lunch. 90 minutes??? Life term.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
