Jocelyne Desay was murdered by her tenant over an argument about dirty dishes. Apparently the elderly Mz. Desay wasn't happy with the way twenty year old Jerry Jean cleaned glasses. His response was to batter and assault the elderly woman and then stab her repeatedly in the neck. Jerry also decided to stash the body of his victim and stay put in the house. http://www.myfoxphilly.com/myfox/pa...n=8&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=3.2.1

They're outta their ever living loving minds, Meow. This lady supposedly took this guy in to help him. Beat her to a pulp before stabbing her. Then stays in the house eating her food and watching her TV.
 
He should have cleaned the freaking glasses hisself if he didn't like the way she did it. Jeez.
 
From an appeal Jerry Jean submitted a couple of years ago (which was denied):

https://casetext.com/case/commonwealth-v-jean-15

On April 5, 2008, at approximately 6:00 a.m., [Appellant] was washing dishes in the house he shared with Jocelyn Desay. Desay had told [Appellant] to leave the house the day before and that he was no longer welcome there. [Appellant] and Desay began to argue and [Appellant] retrieved a razor blade from his room before returning and stabbing Desay three times in her neck, severing her right carotid artery, which resulted in her death. After stabbing Desay, [Appellant] wrapped her body in a blanket, dragged her body into a bedroom, and hid her body under the bed before cleaning the scene and leaving the house. Desay's body was found by police on April 11, 2008. On April 12, 2008, [Appellant] provided a statement to police in which he confessed to her murder.

On October 6, 2011, Appellant entered a negotiated guilty plea to the offenses of third-degree murder, abuse of a corpse, criminal trespass, and possessing an instrument of crime. He was sentenced that same day to the negotiated term of 28½ to 57 years' imprisonment. Appellant did not file an appeal from his judgment of sentence.
