Did you see in today's DN that the girl "exposed" herself while being transported? Very, um ... interesting child.

Vixen testifies again in slay trial
Letters expose girl's deep, dark side
By THERESA CONROY

Prosecutor Jude Conroy wasn't kidding when he said we wouldn't like Justina Morley.
As the teenage vixen of the Fishtown murder spent a second day on the stand, more of her sinister leanings trickled from those pouty little lips.
Under cross-examination yesterday, Morley, 16, was forced to read more passages from the stack of jailhouse letters she sent to her former co-defendants, Eddie Batzig Jr., and brothers Domenic and Nicky Coia. The correspondence underscored a dark side to the girl - far darker even than the details of her admitted involvement as the sex bait in the vicious 2003 murder of 16-year-old Jason Sweeney.
Salacious facts that tumbled out included a shocking interaction the teens had while riding in the van that transported them to their preliminary hearing in June 2003. While riding - handcuffed - with Batzig, the Coias and a complete stranger, Morley exposed herself. She did it, she admitted, because Domenic Coia had never seen her naked.
Nicky Coia's defense attorney, Barbara McDermott, also revealed that Morley had tried to lure Domenic Coia into a suicide pact after they were sent to jail.
The most chilling revelation, however, was something Morley scrawled, in capital letters, on one of the jailhouse notes:
"PASSION FOR MURDER!"
Other letters she wrote to the youths described the thrill she got from violence, her enjoyment of torturing others and the pleasure she took from flashbacks to Sweeney's beating death. She testified Tuesday that she had stood just eight feet away as Batzig and the Coias split open Sweeney's head with a hatchet, a hammer and rocks.

"It would be hard to make myself cry so they could think I'm remorseful or scared or whichever," she wrote. "It's fun making people think and be confused."
Morley admitted she had had sex with Batzig and Nicky Coia, and told Domenic she loved him and wanted to have his baby. She said, however, that she had said and done a lot of things she did not mean.

Prosecutor Conroy warned jurors in his opening statement they would not like Morley.
"Nor should you like her," he added. "Evil comes in many forms."
