What did noura jackson do that she was found guilty of second degree murder?”
Jurors in Memphis found Noura Jackson guilty of second degree murder Saturday in the 2005 stabbing death of her mother, Jennifer Jackson. Jurors deliberated for more than nine hours before returning with their verdict. As Noura Jackson awaited the verdict, tears streamed down her face. She hung her head as it was announced: guilty of second degree murder. Noura Jackson’s family members were present, but not to support her. They sat in the court room in support of her late mother. The family members who had testified against Noura Jackson showed no emotion upon hearing her fate. A high school friend of Noura Jackson said “We’ll just stay positive. It’s not over.” Prosectors said Noura Jackson stabbed her mother more than 50 times. They argued Noura was angry at her mother’s efforts to end her daughter’s lifestyle of partying and drug use, and that Noura killed her mother for inheritance money. But Noura Jackson contended the stabbing was the work of an intruder.
