Solana Beach interior designer guilty in death of stepfather [Breaking]
The prosecution said Merriman, 64, was killed New Year’s Eve 2020, hours after Janks picked him up from a medical care facility where he’d been rehabilitating after a fall. His official cause of death was an overdose of prescription sleeping pills.
Janks’ attorney told the jury that Merriman was a chronic substance abuser who died from a combination of poor health and “his own cocktail” of pills. Defense attorney Marc Carlos said there was no evidence of strangulation.She testified that Merriman and her mother were long divorced, but she still took care of him, and he referred to Janks as his daughter. A few years ago, Merriman and Janks ended up as nextdoor neighbors.
Janks testified that she planned to confront Merriman. And because they were neighbors who shared a driveway on South Nardo Avenue, she wanted him to move away.
