Contents of 'suicide' notes revealed as judge orders ex-'Jerry Springer' producer to answer murder, animal cruelty charges
Former “Jerry Springer” producer Jill Blackstone must stand trial for allegedly killing her deaf and partially blind sister in a murder-suicide scheme gone “awry,” a Los Angeles judge ruled Wednesday.
The judge’s ruling capped a lengthy hearing that revealed new details in the bizarre case – including the contents of the so-called “suicide” note found near victim Wendy Blackstone’s hand and disturbing signs Jill Blackstone admittedly plastered outside their North Hollywood garage.
The signs, affixed prominently to a large trash can positioned at the entrance, were essentially grim instructions for first responders, prosecutors allege.
They warned the parties to “enter carefully” because inside the garage they would find two dead women and three dead dogs poisoned by a lit barbecue grill, prosecutors claim.
Authorities claim Blackstone, who also worked on the “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” and Sally Jessy Raphael’s “Sally,” was at her wit’s end caring for her disabled and dependent sister and killed her by burning highly toxic charcoal in a Weber grill and metal trash can inside their garage.
