Verity Beck, 45, of the Jenkintown section of Abington Township, who was accused of fatally shooting and dismembering her elderly parents in January 2023, has been sentenced to life in prison, NBC10 reported today.

In August 2023, Beck entered a plea of not guilty. Late last week, Beck’s lawyers reached a plea agreement with prosecutors as they abandoned their previous intention to plead not guilty due to insanity.

In December 2023, it was revealed that Beck was facing financial difficulties and her parents had accused her of stealing from them.

Prosecutors did not seek the death penalty in the case, NBC10 said. While spending the rest of her life in prison, Beck will receive medical treatment so that she won’t be a threat to herself and others.
