Solana Beach woman charged with murdering stepdad testifies

A Solana Beach woman charged with murdering her stepfather took the witness stand Thursday, testifying in her own defense. Prosecutors allege Jade Janks, 39, killed her stepfather by giving him pills and suffocating him, after finding naked photos of herself on his computer. On the stand, Janks testified she had a loving relationship with her stepfather, Tom Merriman, when she was in her twenties. They eventually drifted part, Janks said, but then in 2020 she moved in next door to him on Nardo Avenue in Solana Beach.
