A 15-year-old girl and her ex-girlfriend pleaded guilty in Fayetteville to stabbing her grandparents to death last summer so the young couple could be together.
Holly Harvey told the judge that while she was knifing her 73-year-old grandmother, “my eyes were closed the whole time.”
Harvey pleaded guilty to two counts of murder and was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences. She will be eligible for parole in 20 years. Sandy Ketchum, 16, was sentenced to three life terms for murder and armed robbery, to be served concurrently. She could be eligible for parole in 10 years.
