A Minnesota man has admitted killing his pregnant sister and dismembering her body after writing that her pregnancy meant she was 'no longer innocent', a case prosecutors have described as deeply disturbing and traumatic for all involved.
Jack Joseph Ball, 24, pleaded guilty last week to premeditated first-degree murder and premeditated first-degree murder of an unborn child in the deaths of his sister, 30-year-old Bethany Ann Israel, and her baby. The plea was entered in Dakota County, where prosecutors have recommended Ball receive a life sentence.
