A Boyle County man says he showed up to his 15-year-old daughter’s court appearance to honor his late wife.
Jenna Oakley was only in the courtroom for a short time. Her attorney asked the judge to continue her case, stating that they need more time to collect evidence.
The last time the teen was in court, she entered a not guilty plea for the murder and theft charges she is facing in the death of her stepmother Rhonda Oakley. Rhonda was found murdered in the family’s home in September 2015. Jenna’s 13-year-old brother found their stepmother’s body.

Jenna was reported missing that same day and was later found at a hotel in New Mexico with her 20-year-old boyfriend, Kenneth Nigh. Police say that the two took off in Rhonda’s car after the murder.
Nigh died at a hospital after attempting to commit suicide in jail.
In court Tuesday, Jenna’s father, Phillip Oakley, told LEX 18 that he is hoping his daughter faces the maximum punishment.
“A fifteen-year-old kid, just destroying their life. It just disgusts me,” said Phillip. “I just want to see justice done at this point, I just want justice.”
Jenna Oakley will be back in court on April 4th at 1:30 p.m. for another hearing.
