Accused Murderer Sent To Psychiatric Center

{Winchester, Kentucky}...Forty-eight year old Lillie Stanton, the Winchester woman accused of killing her daughter and granddaughter last month, was transferred from the Clark County jail to the Kentucky Correctional Psychiatric Center at La Grange Monday. Stanton was scheduled for an appearance Wednesday in Clark District Court on two murder counts in the deaths of Danel Korrey Stanton, 23, and her 22 month old daughter, Kaydence Ray Miers. Lillie Stanton admitted to Winchester police that she slashed their throats because she feared that Kaydence's father, Jonathon Miers, was about to gain more visitation time. She also admitted that she cut her own throat and wrists after the killings. Clark County Attorney Brian Thomas says attorneys have agreed to postpone the case until July 18th so that all necessary information can be presented to the court.
