Teen pleads not guilty for dad's murder
SPOKANE -- Jackie Wortham teared up several times Wednesday looking like a scared 16-year-old girl, not an accused killer making her first court appearance for her father's murder.
Wortham confessed to detectives Monday to her role in killing her dad, 39-year-old Dan Wortham. On Wednesday she made her first appearance in adult court where she and her boyfriend Edmund Washington are facing 23 years in prison if convicted of her dad's murder at his east Spokane home last weekend.
Court documents claim that Jackie Wortham told detectives she and Edmund Washington killed Dan Wortham last Friday, waiting for several hours inside his house for him to come back from work. When he arrived they reportedly ambushed him, stabbing him with a knife and a three-foot-long sword and beating him with a wrench and a baseball bat.
