The Bullitt County woman charged with killing her two sons was in court for a hearing Monday.
During the hearing, a motion for mediation was filed, which means the prosecution and defense are going to come together to try to make a deal. The decision has left the family of at least one of the boys not happy.
Tiffanie Lucas is charged with shooting her sons, 9 year-old Jayden Howard and 6 year-old Maurice Baker, Jr. at their home back in November. According to her confession to police, she claimed she was manipulated online into doing it.
The boys were half brothers.
Maurice Baker Jr.’s family was in court on Monday when the commonwealth agreed to enter mediation. They are afraid mediation will not end in justice and say they want the death penalty, or nothing less than life without parole.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Bailey Taylor said he has used mediation to success in the past, and if he is unhappy with the results, they can still go to trial.
It may still be a few months before a mediation date is set.
