The bench trial in the case of Banita Jacks, who is accused of killing her four young daughters in a Southeast rowhouse over a year and a half ago, begins tomorrow. Jacks waived her right to a jury trial, although it is assumed that she probably have had a better chance at an acquittal in front of twelve jurors. Judge Frederick H. Weisberg — who some may remember as a vital part of a story by Colbert I. King which won the Post a Pulitzer in 2003 — will hear the case. Jacks adamantly declined to plead insanity, even going so far as to refuse to even meet with attorneys who suggested such a course of action. WaPo’s Keith Alexander has a tidy roundup of the case to date, if you are looking to get caught up before proceedings start tomorrow.
