A Kentucky mother scrapped her insanity plea and admitted to fatally shooting her two young sons in their home in Shepherdsville.

Earlier this year, Tiffanie Lucas planned on pleading insanity after her sons, Maurice Baker Jr., 6, and Jayden Howard, 9, were found dead from gunshot wounds on Nov. 8, 2023.

On Wednesday, however, Lucas entered an open plea in the Bullitt County courtroom, meaning she admitted to murdering her sons and will allow the judge to choose her sentence without input from prosecutors.

Outside the courthouse, the boys' aunt, Bobbie Baker, begged the judge to sentence Lucas accordingly "for what she really is and what she did," WLKY reported.

"What I want is for her to wake up every day and not be able to leave out those doors of that prison," Baker said, according to WDRB. "That will hurt her more than anything."

Baker added the murders weren't an accident because "one of the boys was shot twice." The family had also previously contacted Child Protective Services multiple times before the brutal incident.

Lucas will serve from 20 years to life for each count of murder and the judge will decide whether the sentences are served consecutively or concurrently.

She will be sentenced on Nov. 22.
