A woman whose testimony helped convict three men in a 2009 drug-related double slaying is set for sentencing before a Philadelphia judge.
Twenty-seven-year-old Katoya Jones pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree murder stemming from the fatal shootings of two people inside a trendy Philadelphia apartment building.
Jones admitted letting the shooters into the Piazza at Schmidts complex before they fatally shot 34-year-old Rian Thal and 40-year-old Timothy Gilmore in June 2009.
Jones testified against three other suspects. They were each convicted of second-degree murder and received life sentences.
Investigators said they seized more than eight pounds of cocaine and more than $100,000 from Thal's apartment after the killings.
Three other defendants also pleaded guilty
