Daughter Found Guilty In Stabbing Parents, Killing Father

It only took a jury 45 minutes to reach a verdict in a case where an 18-year-old woman was charged in the stabbing of her parents. The attack left her father dead and her mother seriously wounded.

The St. Clair County jury convicted the Tia Skinner of first-degree murder, attempted murder and conspiracy to murder. She is facing life in prison without parole. The prosecutors claim the daughter was angry at her parents for forbidding her from seeing Jonathan Kurtz and confiscating her cellular telephone. They claim Kurtz and James Preston broke into the home and attacked the parents while their daughter watched a movie in the basement. Kurtz and Preston were previously convicted of the same charges. Sentencing for all three is scheduled for September 16^th.
