Prosecutors say Jade Janks killed Merriman on Dec. 31, 2020, by a combination of strangulation, suffocation and lethal doses of prescription pills. His body was discovered underneath a pile of trash in his driveway.
"She has maintained her innocence throughout this matter and continues to do so," Carlos said in court.
When the fixer was unable to come out to Solana Beach that day to assist in the murder, prosecutors alleged he sent a friend of his instead. Janks testified during the trial that Merriman was heavily intoxicated following his discharge from the medical facility and she had reached out to others for help moving him into her home. When she was unable to move him on her own, she left him in her vehicle to sleep it off.
Janks was pulled over by a police officer later that day and texted the fixer,"Lose my number. I'm getting pulled over." Janks testified she wrote that text because she did not want the man to be unfairly suspected by the police.
