BEAVER — Local prosecutors could consider capital punishment in the case of an Ambridge mother accused of killing two of her children.
Krisinda Bright, 48, of Ambridge, is charged with two counts of criminal homicide after investigators say she admitted to shooting and killing 16-year-old Jeffery Bright and 22-year-old Jasmine Cannady at a Maplewood Avenue home last month.
If Bright’s first-degree homicide charges are held over by a district judge, Beaver County District Attorney Dave Lozier’s office will meet with case investigators to discuss if her alleged actions are punishable by death under Pennsylvania statutes. Bright’s preliminary hearing is tentatively scheduled for May 3.
