LaShonda McCutchen

LaShonda McCutchen is a serial killer from Philadelphia who was arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced to Death in 2032 for four murders including two of her own three children. Her three children included two daughters who she murdered along with their father, burying the bodies in a field outside the city as well as a son Shaun with Philadelphia teacher Kyle Jackson.
In 2032, she murdered Kyle after he had returned one of Shaun's schoolbooks to him fearing that Kyle would discover his relation to Shaun and attempt to remove Shaun from her custody after overhearing her boyfriend Eugene Marsden tell Kyle about what was going on in the house although Kyle said that didn't care about Eugene selling marijuana since it was legal in Pennsylvania. Forcing Eugene to take her along to a meeting he had planned with Kyle, she shot and killed Kyle unaware that Greg Washington the Vice-Principal at Shaun's school was aware of the attention Kyle had been giving Shaun and thinking it was a repeat of the Keisha Banks situation sent Shaun to see Jedi Knight Darius Carpenter. LaShonda went about her business thinking that the Philadelphia Police would never be able to solve Kyle's murder unaware that the assigned Detectives Tyrell Jenkins and Chloe Allen had discovered that Kyle worked at the same school as Darius and informed the Remnant forces under General Typher Marlion of the case. LaShonda was later arrested at her job by Detective Allen and Major Jason Oliver on charges relating to Shaun's condition as Marlion had sent Shaun to be examined at where his wife Donna worked as a Nurse. After the discovery that Kyle was Shaun's father, Marlion ordered Major Eric Schuyler to charge LaShonda with Murder under the theory that Kyle was killed to prevent him from interfering with her plans for Shaun. At arraignment, Judge Breanna Holmes refused to hear any arguments about bond and ordered both LaShonda and Eugene jailed pending trial while Shaun was placed in the care of Jedi Knight Jacen Syndulla.
As Assistant United States Attorney Shirley Forbes built her case against LaShonda and Eugene, she was informed that LaShonda's attorney Bernard LeMay had hired private investigators to locate and follow Shaun who spent time after school at the Carpenter House with Darius, Keisha, Caleb Carpenter, Tori Felth, Tori's newborn twins, and Keisha's son Darius Banks. Forbes quickly moved to have LeMay disqualified as LaSHonda's attorney after the Remnant arrested him and his investigators. Following this, Shirley was approached by Attorney Jericho Swope who had been hired by Eugene and told a story about LaShonda having murdered other people and that she had also killed Kyle, not Eugene as was suspected at first. With Shaun having verified the story along with telling Shirley, Darius, and Lucy Carpenter about his two sisters that went missing as well as showing them where LaShonda had buried the bodies, Majors Oliver and Schuyler were sent to recover the bodies of which nothing but bones remained and LaShonda was charged with the three additional murders. Meanwhile, Judge Douglas Schroeder not only removed Bernard from the case, but also ordered Bernard jailed for 240 days on charges for violating a court order and for commenting that Schroeder was in the pocket of Remnant General Tevin Felth.
At trial, LaShonda's new attorney Regina Edwards attempted to discredit many of Shirley's witnesses claiming that the Felth Family was in the business of and using influence to suit their agenda as well as accusing Keisha of being Shaun's girlfriend. LaShonda claimed that she was doing everything she could for Shaun and that Eugene had carried out the murders which Shirley disproved and then put Keisha on the stand to rebut LaShonda's sob story about the struggles of being a single mother. The Jury eventually and quickly convicted LaShonda of the murders as well as Shaun's attempted murder and a drug charge. At the sentencing hearing, Shaun told LaShonda that he no longer considered her to be his mother, that he was now considered part of three families, and that he hoped she got the sentence she justly deserved. After being sent out to deliberate on a sentence, the Jury returned with a verdict of Death for LaShonda that all 12 Jurors agreed upon.
Following the trial, Shaun graduated from High School with Kyle's Spirit there to watch as well as becoming Keisha's boyfriend and a surrogate father to Little Darius. He was later screened along with Little Darius as a potential member of the Jedi Order of Earth by Michael Myers who also looked at the details of the case and was so disturbed by them that he sent his long-time friend and Psychiatrist Doctor Ben Loomis to talk to Shaun as part of Shaun's Jedi screening process. While Ben was in Philadelphia, he asked Tevin Felth for permission to talk to Marlion's officers citing Michael's reaction to the case details. With Tevin agreeing and Ben stating to Typher that he would stay out of the way, he learned that the discovery of the three sets of remains had left Eric Schuyler unable to sleep until Mira Syndulla informed Eric of the sentence handed down by the Jury and that it had begun to worry Jason Oliver who had come to consider Eric as a brother.
