Cory Jiggets

Durham, N.C. — Cory Jiggets pleaded guilty Monday in the murder of Skye Moniqua Lee, the mother of his child.

Jiggets, 20, a former student at Northern High School in Durham, will serve a sentence of 19 to 25 years in prison for second degree murder.

Lee was found dead in her apartment at 3628 Keystone Place on March 30, 2008, when officers responded to calls about a shooting. Her 10-month-old son was inside the apartment unharmed, police said.

Jiggets is the child’s father. As part of his sentence, he is forbidden to contact the boy or any members of Lee’s family.

NC has structured sentencing...that means that there's no such thing as parole on cases after Oct. 1994. When a judge in NC says 19-25 years, that means the offender will serve at the very least 19 years. I'm not saying that is enough for the lives ruined in this...just fyi.

You know I bet the victim in this mess did tell POLICE he was on probation in December and as always the extra information falls on deaf ears as it does in other counties. We have a situation like this and are always told they can't do nothing about it......

What a selfish act...not only does his child not have his mother he doesn't have his father! May God with his child and his family that is raising him.

In a couple of years (or less) he will be out on unsupervised probation so he can do it all over again.
