husband was set at $500,000 Saturday [Apr. 6]. Janet Strickland of
Chicago was charged with one count of first-degree murder and one count
of armed robbery with a firearm after her husband was fatally shot in

dialysis, police said. William Strickland, 72, was shot six times in the
back on March 2 while on his way to dialysis treatment in what police
suspected to be a robbery. uwillcgossip.com
Janet Strickland was reportedly not in court for her hearing Saturday
because she was receiving treatment for a lung disease, the Chicago
Sun-Times reported. Janet Strickland allegedly commissioned her grandson
to kill her husband, and watched as he did so before stealing a casino
bag with money in it as her husband lied shot on the street, according
to the Sun-Times. U-Will Celebrities' Gossip
Janet Strickland reportedly used the stolen money to take her grandson
on a shopping spree. The 19-year-old grandson, also named William
Strickland, was held without bond March 30 in connection with the murder
and admitted in court to stealing his grandfather’s gun and committing
the crime. He also said he used money from his grandfather’s wallet to
purchase tattoos, new shoes, a cell phone and other items. A life
sentence may be imposed, though the younger Strickland has no criminal
background
