Brandon Armstrong, 14; Austin Eubanks, 7; Brigham Eubanks, 6; and Matthew Eubanks, 4, were all shot in the head in 1997
A woman previously sentenced to death for killing her four children in San Marcos was re-sentenced Friday to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Eubanks was sentenced to death in 1999, and that sentence was later upheld by the California Supreme Court.In 2011, Eubanks' lawyers cited a number of problems in her 1999 trial in an appeal, claiming that the jurors were improperly required to be English-proficient, that police illegally searched her San Marcos home and that the prosecution's expert witness conclusions were wrongly presented as scientific facts. That appeal was unanimously denied.
The San Diego County District Attorney's Office said that prosecutors opted to move forward with Friday's re-sentencing"in the interests of justice" and"to ensure the defendant will never be released from prison.
