Man Sentenced To Death For Rape of 14-Year-Old Girl Asks Judge for Life Term Instead

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A man sentenced to death for raping, strangling and dismembering his girlfriend’s 14-year-old daughter has asked a judge to instead give him a life term. Jacob Sullivan pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and other offenses for killing Grace Packer in 2016 as part of a rape-murder fantasy he shared with the teen’s mother. Jurors told the judge during the deliberations they were unable to agree on imposing the death penalty, and his lawyers argued the judge forced jurors to keep deliberating.
