LOCK HAVEN The Clinton County district attorney says he will seek the death penalty if the woman accused of killing her 9-year-old nephew and leaving him in a bathtub is found guilty of first-degree murder.
District Attorney David Strouse Thursday cited three aggravating factors that will permit him to seek the death penalty for Jamie Lynne Jackson: The killing occurred while in the perpetration of a felony; it was committed by mean of torture; and the victim, Anson Landon Mitchell Stover, was under the age of 12.
