About Nikko Jenkins in brief
Nikko Allen Jenkins was found guilty of four murders in August 2013. The murders occurred within a month after he had been released from prison after serving 10 and a half years of a 21-year sentence. Jenkins told police that the acts were sacrifices to Apophis, a deity in the ancient Egyptian religion. He was found competent to stand trial, found guilty, and was sentenced to death in May 2017. Jenkins claimed that his problems were caused by mental illness, and that he had schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and antisocial personality disorder. The judge ordered a psychiatric evaluation, and a psychiatrist concluded that Jenkins was faking his symptoms.
Jenkins was initially scheduled to be sentenced on August 11, 2014, but the date was delayed indefinitely following a hearing to determine whether he was capable of understanding the proceedings against him. His courtroom antics included speaking in tongues, laughing as prosecutors recounted the details of his victims’ deaths, and howling as prosecutors said he was laughing as he described the killings. He is the son of David A. Magee and Lori Jenkins, and has a brother and a sister.
