Letecia Stauch, a stepmother from Colorado, was found guilty on May 8th, 2023, of murdering her 11-year-old stepson, Gannon Stauch, in January 2020. She was convicted of first-degree murder, murder of a child under 12, tampering with a deceased human body, and tampering with physical evidence. Prosecutors alleged that Stauch killed Gannon because she was resentful about being used as a babysitter, as evidenced by her search history. She stabbed Gannon 18 times, beat him across the head four times, and shot him in the jaw, according to prosecutors, before dumping his body under a bridge in Florida. Stauch, who worked as a special needs elementary school teacher, had claimed that her behavior was the result of mental illness or childhood sexual abuse. Prosecutors argued that she acted with intent and was mentally competent when she killed Gannon. The jury agreed with the prosecutors and found Stauch guilty on all charges. In an emotional sentencing statement, Judge Gregory Werner sentenced her to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder of Gannon Stauch. Prayers to the Stauch family as they deal with the aftermath of this terrible tragedy.➡️ Wanna say thanks for a great episode? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/collierlandry➡️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/collierlandry➡️ Check out my Merch Store: https://www.collierlandry.com/store➡️ Amazon Affiliate Link: https://www.collierlandry.com/amazon➡️ YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/collierlandryCollier's Live Schedule, updated on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook:Instagram: Tuesday 2 pm ET / 11 am PTYouTube: Wednesdays 7pm ET / 4pm PT▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collierlandry/▶ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@collierlandry▶ Twitter: https://twitter.com/collierlandry▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/collierlandry▶ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/collierlandry/ Learn more about your ad choices.
