Wichita woman on trial in beheading had to let 'soul out'

A Kansas woman on trial in the decapitation of her ex-boyfriend's mother told jurors that she "had to hurry to let her soul out"and that she thought there were people watching her out of her own eyes through a cellphone app. The Wichita Eagle reports that 38-year-old Rachael Hilyard, of Wichita, referred repeatedly to "things" that she said would give her suggestions or orders when she took the stand Wednesday. She is charged with first-degree murder in the April 2017 killing of 63-year-old Micki Davis. The jury was to hear closing arguments and start deliberating Thursday.
