A D.C. Superior Court judge ruled this week that a judge, not a jury, will decide whether Banita Jacks is guilty of the murder of her four children inside their Southeast Washington home.
Jacks was granted a bench trial after her attorneys voiced concerns that finding an impartial jury would be difficult given the publicity of Jacks' case. Her trial is slated to begin July 13.
Jacks was arrested Jan. 9, 2008, after federal marshals serving an eviction notice at her home found the bodies of her four daughters. Authorities determined the girls to have been deceased for up to six months.
