Prosectors won’t seek death penalty for Michele Anderson

Michele Anderson the former Carnation woman accused of killing her family on Christmas Eve 2007 will no longer face the death penalty.

The King County Prosecutor’s Office is expected to announce Wednesday morning that they have withdrawn their notice to seek the death penalty. An official close to the case confirmed the decision.

The news comes after two separate King County Superior Court juries declined to send convicted cop killer Christopher Monfort and Joseph McEnroe, Anderson’s former boyfriend and her co-defendant, to death row. Both men are serving a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
