LAS VEGAS -- A 50-year-old former blackjack dealer will go to trial on kidnapping and murder charges in the death of her ex-boyfriend's daughter.
Brenda Stokes Wilson entered a not guilty plea during her arraignment before Clark County District Court Judge Kathleen Delaney Wednesday morning.
According to the District Attorney's office, its death penalty committee will seek capital punishment should it win its case against Stokes Wilson.
Stokes Wilson is due back in court for a calendar call on July 8. Her trial is scheduled to start on July 15, 2013.
She is accused of killing 10-year-old Jade Morris during a Christmas shopping outing in December, and of attacking a 44-year-old Joyce Rhone with razors at the Bellagio casino later that night. Stokes Wilson also faces charges in that alleged attack.
Stokes Wilson was a friend of the girl's father. Police and family members say they think the attacks were sparked by jealousy.
