Bond denied for woman accused of killing elderly father in Virginia Beach
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — Bond was denied on Wednesday for a woman accused of murdering her elderly father in May. Only on 10: Woman charged with murder in Rodney Lane homicide speaks out Jennifer Mulligan, 43, appeared in a Virginia Beach court Wednesday morning for a bond appeal hearing after she was initially granted bond. Mulligan is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the fatal shooting of her 90-year-old father, Woodard McClure. During the appeal, the defense stated that Mulligan had only recently brought her father to her home to live on hospice after the retirement home McClure was staying in shut down. The defense argued that Mulligan's relationship with her father was abusive, saying that McClure kidnapped Mulligan at the age of 6. The prosecution, however, argued that the case is 'the execution of a 90-year-old,' saying that Mulligan had been drinking prior to pointing a gun directly to her father's head before shooting him. After hearing both sides, the court decided that Mulligan was not a flight risk, but that she was a risk to the community, resulting in her bond being denied. 10 On Your Side's Ethan Krauss was at court and will provide more updates throughout the day.
