The two people charged in an alleged murder-for-hire plot that killed a beloved Philadelphia teacher were held for trial in a Montgomery County courtroom Tuesday, authorities said.
Julie Jean of Elkins Park and Zakkee Alhakim of Philadelphia are facing murder and conspiracy charges in the death of Rachel King, a mother and a teacher at Grover Cleveland Elementary School in the city's Tioga section.
Police and prosecutors said on April 11, King was stopped at a Dunkin' drive-thru in Cheltenham Township while driving her son to violin practice.
There, police claim Alhakim got out of his car, walked up to King's vehicle and fired multiple times. Her son was in the backseat.
At an April news conference, Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele said Alhakim had a map showing where King lived saved to his phone. They believe Jean was having an affair with King's boyfriend, but after the relationship was broken off, Jean kept messaging the two. Eventually a court granted a Protection From Abuse Order against Jean.
"I've seen a lot of horrible and even horrific homicides, evil homicides in my nearly 30 years of doing this as a prosecutor," Steele said in April. "And suffice it to say, I am struggling with this one, where a truly innocent woman is targeted in a long, planned murder all because of an ended affair. It's hard to come to grips with."
King's parents said they hope justice will be served.
"Our hearts are hurting but we also believe in time they will be healed and we will move forward with our grandson," Carol King, Rachel's mother, said at the event.
A criminal complaint in the case says Jean deleted nearly 800 text messages from her phone minutes before meeting with detectives.
Has that POS Krasner demanded the perps go free yet?

Regards,
Philadelphia, a once vibrant and prosperous city, with many magnificent theaters, venues for entertainment...and now
NOTHING BUT A GIANT PULSATING DISGUSTING BOIL WHICH MUST BE CURED BEFORE ANYTHING GOOD CAN COME OF IT.
Reform and restoration can only come from within with citizens who care and are willing to work at it.
IT WON’T HAPPEN...IT IS LEFT WITH BEING UNSALVAGABILE FOREVER.
Glad we were able to excape.
Whoopsies...the crime occurred in the Philthyburb of lower Montgo (deep blue Øbamastan) rather than in “the city of brotherly love”.
My bad.
Not his jurisdiction.
But it WAS the jurisdiction of PA Governor Josh Shapiro before he became AG of Pennsylvania.
Carry, always, everywhere and keep your head on a swivel.
Situational awareness, training, and the WILLINGNESS to fight back…
Poor lady never had a chance
Another weak excuse to put POC in prison
It’s ALWAYS THEM, BOO BOO
Rachel King. Note her pronoun, faintly visible on the whiteboard.
Was one of the top healthcare and health research centers in the country; massive numbers and types of educational institutions and museums; a great great town for foodies (either for dining out or for market shopping); fantastic all-city festivals; a patchwork quilt of old-time ethnic neighborhoods where others could come to taste the speciality cuisines or attend the church bazaars; great sports venues and events; hundreds of historic establishments from one of the oldest cities in the country; every kind of high-culture community such as for opera, ballet, horticulture, crafts, on and on; and formerly a very friendly populace who lived the motto, "city of brotherly love."
In ruins.
OMG, Albion, you have reminded me of the wonderful picture of a beautiful (once) city that brings tears to the eyes.
I had a request from a great-niece to write about life in my youth. So I told of growing up in Philly. The Earle Theater that featured live bands and first run movies. The Mastbaum Theater which was a magnificent structure. So, so many memories. All gone.
The niece received a 96 for the paper and I was disappointed about those 4 points. only kidding.
Your recollections are so good. She probably would have received 100 .
As Bob Hope would say “Thanks for the memories.”
