@americancrimetruecrime: ‼️79 YR OLD DONNA STONE GUILTY ON BOTH COUNTS|JURY AGREES ON MERCY A Boone County jury has found 79-year-old Donna Stone guilty on all counts for her role in the starvation death of her 14-year-old granddaughter, Kyneddi Miller After a six-day trial, the West Virginia jury convicted the grandmother of murder by a custodian and child neglect resulting in death While the convictions carry heavy weight, the jury DID return a recommendation of mercy due to Stone’s advanced age and her battle with skin cancer Without that recommendation, she would have faced automatic life in prison without parole With mercy, she faces 15 years to life for the murder charge, meaning she won't be eligible to even apply for parole until she is 94 years old She also faces an additional 10 to 40 years for the neglect charge Her official sentencing is set for December 8, 2026. For those who haven't followed this case from the beginning, the details are devastating In April 2024, authorities found 14-year-old Kyneddi dead on the bathroom floor of her family's home Medical examiners testified that the teenager was in a "skeletal state," weighing just 58 pounds Kyneddi had been pulled from public school for homeschooling during the pandemic, which sadly led to prolonged isolation and severe, unnoticed malnutrition- Donna Stone wasn't the only family member facing charges Kyneddi’s mother, Julie Miller, pleaded guilty last year and is already serving 15 years to life Her grandfather, Jerry Stone, was found mentally incompetent to stand trial and was committed to a mental health facility #Update #verdict #crime #WestVirginia
