A woman who kept mentally disabled adults captive in the
basement of a Philadelphia home and in other states for their disability checks
was sentenced on Thursday to life in prison.
Linda Weston, 55, apologized during the hearing, saying: “I
believe in God and God knows what happened.”
U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe replied that: “There are a
lot of people in this courtroom who know what happened too,” according to
Philly.com.
Weston pleaded guilty in September to all 196 counts
against her that also include kidnapping, racketeering conspiracy and murder in
aid of racketeering, hate crimes, sex trafficking and fraud. Two women she held
captive later died.
