A teenager accused of killing her mother and the parent’s boyfriend, then leaving the bodies to rot while she attended a New Year’s Eve party, appeared in a New York court Thursday.
Destiny Garcia was 15 when she allegedly shot then stabbed mother Rosie Sanchez to death and did the same to Anderson Nunez, helped by her 28-year-old boyfriend Jerry Masionett.
After requesting a separate trial from the accused man – who fathered a child she miscarried after the murders – Garcia was in the Brooklyn court for a routine status conference.

Destiny Garcia appeared in Kings County Supreme Court in Brooklyn, New York on Thursday
Garcia was in the Brooklyn court for a routine status conference on her murder case
She has been charged with two counts of murder in the killings of her mother Rosie Sanchez and the parent's boyfriend, Anderson Nunez, in December 2015. They are pictured above
Charged with two counts of murder, Garcia stood before Judge Miriam Cyrulnik for a brief update on the scheduling of her case.
The defendant wore her khaki green prison garments over a long-sleeve gray ensemble.
She left her rosary beads visible over the top, donned black-framed spectacles and wore her long black hair down in an unkempt fashion.
She was appearing alongside her lawyer Peter Guadagino. At one point she shot an unimpressed facial expression at him as he spoke to her while pointing his finger in her direction.

She seemed to release a faint smile in the Kings County Supreme Court for criminal matters
A law enforcement officer also kept a close eye on Garcia, who remained bound to handcuffs and appeared to try her best to maintain a serious facial expression.
But she seemed to release a faint smile in the Kings County Supreme Court for criminal matters where Assistant District Attorney, Richard Y. Chin, was also present.
The defendant was told she would be scheduled to return to court in April.
Garcia has admitted to the murders.

Three years ago her attorney claimed in court the teen was being harassed by fellow inmates at the juvenile facility where she was being held.
She was ordered into protective custody.
Garcia had initially implicated her godbrother Jordan Santiago in her first statement on January 3 but in her second statement - given the next day - she then removed Santiago and included her boyfriend Jerry Maisonett as the accomplice, said the New York Daily News.
The teen went on to describe how her mother had physically abused her and how she had planned to go and live with a cousin.

On the night of the killing, Sanchez apparently caught Garcia with her bags packed and after the pair got into an argument, her mother apparently punched her in the face several times, according to a statement obtained by the newspaper.
Following the argument, she then called her boyfriend and asked him for a gun 'for protection', which he is said to have brought to her on the night of the 28th.
The 15-year-old then attended New Year's Eve celebrations in Times Square while her mother and step-father's corpses were rotting in the family apartment, investigators say.
Maisonett has been indicted for the murders and faces life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted.
The account, reported by the New York Daily News, revealed that on that night Sanchez had beaten Garcia, before going back into her bedroom.
Garcia then got the gun from a drawer and went into her mother's bedroom and shot at her, which after a second attempt, hit Sanchez in the neck.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
