    Tiffanie Lucas Murder Charges

    Tiffanie Lucas was arrested in November 2023 and charged with two counts of murder. Police said a neighbor found her sons, Maurice Baker Jr., 6, and Jayden Howard, 9, shot inside the family’s home on Bentwood Drive in Bullitt County. The children were rushed to Norton Children’s Hospital but both boys died from their injuries. Previously, Lucas entered a not guilty plea and has remained in the Bullitt County Jail on a $2 million bond for nearly a year. Her murder trial was scheduled for December. But with Lucas now pleading guilty to both her sons’ murders, she avoids trial. Instead, it will be up to Judge Rodney Burress to announce her sentence.

    Bobbie Baker an aunt to the two boys said outside the courthouse, “”She should have to stay in prison. Give them some form of justice. They didn’t deserve this. They’re kids.” She also added, “”I still don’t believe it. I still don’t. I won’t believe it until she’s sentenced and I won’t believe it until then.” 

    By entering this guilty plea, Burress said Lucas is not only waiving her right to a trial but also the right to appeal. 

    Calling Lucas a “monster” who doesn’t deserve to ever see life outside a prison, Baker said she and her brother, Maurice’s father, are heartbroken.

    “My brother is hurt,” she said. “He’s sitting in the courtroom with tears in his eyes. (There’s) no way a parent should have to sit through this.”

    Burress said Wednesday that Lucas’ two charges hold a penalty of 20-50 years each, which could run concurrently or consecutively, or a life sentence. Lucas’ sentencing hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Nov. 22 in Bullitt County.

    Tiffanie Lucas Lawyers had Planned to use Insanity Defence

    Last month, Lucas’ lawyers said they planned to use an insanity defense or present evidence relating to a mental disease or condition. A court filing in September said Lucas’ attorney planned to go that route but the paperwork also said there was not a request to evaluate her competency to stand trial. 

    “The defense had made a notice that they were going to seek the insanity defense. We made a motion that we were entitled to make for a full evaluation,” Taylor said Wednesday. “If that had happened, based on the backlog, we probably would not have gotten a report back from KCPC any sooner than six to 12 months. So that would’ve moved things down the road a considerable amount of time.”

    Taylor said he’s satisfied with the guilty plea in this case. At sentencing, he will be able to make a recommendation to Burress. 

    Tifannie Lucas Being Manipulated Through Facebook

     Tiffanie Lucas made statements that she was being manipulated through Facebook.  According to PEOPLE, Detective Richard Beahl, who responded to the scene said that, Lucas allegedly told authorities that she had been “manipulated” by Facebook, the internet and wireless connections to kill her children. She also allegedly claimed it was “an accident,” Beahl said.  

    It’s unclear what led the defense to change course, but family members of the children say they want to see the maximum sentence possible for her.
