Born on December 25, 1932, Janie Lou Gibbs achieved an average lifestyle in Cordele, Georgia. She was the mother of three children and wife of Charles Gibbs and attended church regularly. The Cordele community loved him. It was a life that everyone was accustomed to and there were no obvious signs that Janie Lou Gibbs had participated in her family's murders. It was said to be a strange night on January 21, 1966. After a home-cooked meal in the Gibbs', Charles Clayton Gibbs collapsed. He was rushed to hospital for treatment. Sadly, he died the same night he collapsed; leaving the Gibbs is a dismal state. Doctors had classified the illness as undiagnosed liver disease. A distressed Janie Gibbs was a great apprehension to Cordele and they immediately rushed to her side. As she played a huge role in the church, donations were made to the Gibbs family to help support the family financially. Above all, they were there to guide us and help the family, and especially Janie. When things seemed to be at their worst, another sudden death occurred. Marvin Ronald Gibbs was the youngest son of Janie and Charles' three children. At just thirteen years old, he experienced the loss of his father, which prevented him from participating in activities that boys with their fathers could do, such as fishing or playing soccer. It was only eight months after his father's death that he began to feel unwell. His condition did not improve and he died on August 29, 1966. Doctors who had also treated Charles Gibbs noticed that Marvin suffered from the same illness as his father. Doctors had classified it as hepatitis. Janie had now lost her husband, her youngest son, adding even more grief middle of paper......had killed them. She was also a faithful member of the Church and appeared to be a very sincere person. They also knew that she was able to tell right from wrong. This brought Janie back to the stands to be judged. Larry Howard and Janie's relatives were able to have her tried again for murder. She was released from the mental institution and was imprisoned to serve five life sentences in the early 1970s. Janie Lou Gibbs was in prison until 1999, when she was diagnosed with dementia. Parkinson's. She was forced out for a medical condition and was placed in the full custody of her sister after being denied parole seventeen times.
