Teen girl, ex-girlfriend admit killing grandparents 'so we could be together' AP via Boston.com ^ | 14 April 2005 | Errin Haines Posted on 04/14/2005 3:29:16 PM EDT by Fractal Trader FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) A 15-year-old girl and her ex-girlfriend pleaded guilty Thursday to stabbing her grandparents to death last summer so the young couple could be together. Holly Harvey told the judge that while she was knifing her 73-year-old grandmother, ''my eyes were closed the whole time.'' Harvey pleaded guilty to two counts of malice murder and was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences. She will not be eligible for parole for 20 years. Sandy Ketchum, 16, was sentenced to three life terms, to be served concurrently. Sarah Collier and her husband, Carl Collier, 74, were each stabbed numerous times Aug. 2 inside the couple's house in northern Fayette County, outside Atlanta. As part of her plea, Harvey detailed how she killed the couple. She said she and Ketchum had stayed out all night, then spent the morning of the killings listening to music in her basement bedroom. That was when Ketchum suggested stealing the grandparents' truck ''to get something to calm us down,'' Harvey said. '''We'll have to kill them to do that,''' Harvey said she responded. ''But I didn't mean nothing by that,'' she told Judge Pascal English. Ketchum first suggested hitting them in the head with a lamp, then suggested getting a knife, Harvey said. ''I got the biggest knife I could find out of the kitchen,'' she said, adding that they practiced stabbing a mattress to see if the knife was sharp enough. [SNIP] When the judge asked Harvey why she did it, the teen said, ''For Sandy,'' and added, ''So that we could be together.'' (Excerpt) Read more at boston.com ...
