Dolly Mae Clapp pled guilty to first-degree manslaughter in the torture and killing of Mechelle Hicks; Shaniqua Brown is charged with second-degree murder.

Deborah Rolle is sentenced to life in prison for the murder of her estranged husband; Gena Shaughnessy is found guilty of first-degree murder.
