A Solana Beach interior designer convicted of murdering her stepfather because she found hundreds of nude photographs of herself on his computer was sentenced Monday.
VISTA — A Solana Beach interior designer convicted of murdering her stepfather because she found hundreds of nude photographs of herself on his computer was sentenced Monday to 25 years to life in state prison.
Janks' defense attorney, Marc Carlos, told jurors Merriman's death stemmed from a history of substance abuse and overall poor health. Merriman's official cause of death was found to be an overdose of prescription pills and Carlos argued there was little to no evidence to suggest he was strangled or suffocated."She has maintained her innocence throughout this matter and continues to do so," Carlos said in court.
When the fixer was unable to come out to Solana Beach that day to assist in the murder, prosecutors alleged he sent a friend of his instead. Janks testified during the trial that Merriman was heavily intoxicated following his discharge from the medical facility and she had reached out to others for help moving him into her home. When she was unable to move him on her own, she left him in her vehicle to sleep it off.
