Curtis and Catherine Jones were 12 and 13 years old, respectively, when they pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the killing of their father?s girlfriend, Nicole Speights, in 1999.
The siblings were given an 18-year sentence and will be on probation for the rest of their lives.
WFTV reported that the siblings accused a male relative of sexually abusing them, but their father and his girlfriend ignored their pleas for help. That?s when the siblings began plotting to kill all three people
