YPSILANTI (AP) -- A teen convicted of murdering her father and trying to kill her mother in a knife attack at their Michigan home says she regrets everything and blames her actions on a "bad temper."
Tia Skinner spoke to the Times Herald of Port Huron from the Women's Huron Valley Correctional Facility in Ypsilanti.
The 19-year-old said in a story Thursday that the November 2010 attack in St. Clair County was "awful" and she "took it out on somebody who didn't deserve it."
Skinner, Jonathan Kurtz and James Preston were convicted last year of first-degree murder, attempted murder and conspiracy to murder. Paul Skinner was fatally stabbed and Mara Skinner was seriously wounded.
Prosecutors say Tia Skinner was angry with them for forbidding her from seeing Kurtz and confiscating her cellphone.
