Girl Who Was 'Proud' Of Brutal Killing Pleads Guilty
Story here. Excerpt:
'MEADVILLE, Pa. -- Nichole "Jade" Olmstead bragged about the torture and murder of 20-year-old Brandy Stevens-Rosine, an Ohio college student who was beaten and buried alive in a shallow grave in rural Pennsylvania.
Those and other details were released on Halloween, following a surprise decision by 20-year-old Olmstead, who had been fighting a homicide charge, to plead guilty to first-degree murder.
"Olmstead had a journal," Crawford County District Attorney Francis Schultz told The Huffington Post on Monday. "She talked about the fact that using a shovel [to hit Stevens-Rosine in the head] was perfect -- that she could see [Stevens-Rosine's] skull and brains mixed in the dirt."
...
In changing her plea, Olmstead admitted her role in the 2012 slaying of Stevens-Rosine. She also expressed remorse for her crime.
"[I am] truly and deeply sorry for what happened. Brandy did not deserve what happened to her," Olmstead said in court.
Crawford County Court of Common Pleas Judge Mark Stevens, no relation to the murder victim, sentenced Olmstead, without delay, to life in prison without parole.'
