Seventeen year-old Angela Marinucci was "the prime instigator" in the torture and slaying of mentally disabled woman Jennifer Daughtery, a prosecutor said Monday at the opening of Marinucci's trial. Marinucci, now 18, is charged with first-degree murder and other crimes in the death of Daugherty, 30, last year. Daugherty was bound with Christmas decorations, beaten, forced to drink urine and detergent and then stabbed to death in February 2010, prosecutors said. Her body was found two days later, stuffed into a plastic garbage container and shoved beneath a truck in a snow-covered school parking lot.
