Hall's cold-hearted murders of her teens happened at the family's Oklahoma home on Nov. 1, 2018.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Authorities said that while her children slept, the 38-year-old entered her 18-year-old son's room and shot him in the head while he slept.
Shot as they slept
Hall proceeded to the bedroom of her 16- and 14-year-old daughters, and shot both in the head as they slept.
The 14-year-old survived, while Kloee never regained consciousness and died from her injuries four days later at the hospital.

Her murder plan was interrupted after Hall left the scene in a vehicle.
She led police on a wild car chase, reaching speeds close to 100 mph until police stopped her several miles from the home.
Police then took her into custody.

Hall said that she and the children's father were separated, and engaged in a two-year custody battle.
In Oct. 2018, Hall filed an emergency order asking for temporary sole custody of the children. In 2016, the father claimed that Hall was mentally unstable and was psychologically abusive to the children.
Officials told FOX 23 they had previously responded to the home on domestic calls, but nothing had led to any arrests.

Wilson said in a statement. "Nevertheless, justice requires a careful consideration of all facts, including the interests of the surviving victim. Based on these considerations, the United States recommended a life sentence be imposed in this case."
