Thompson Denied Bond In Jeter Murder in Union

Charged with convincing her husband to kill Union High School cheerleader Marisha Jeter to 'prove he loved her,' Yolanda Thompson was denied bond in court on Thursday.

Thompson and her husband Pernell Thompson are charged in the murder of the 16-year-old high school junior in a love triangle gone bad.

Marisha Jeter and Pernell Thompson had dated before the Thompsons' marriage in 2007. But even after the wedding vows Thompson reportedly had difficulty staying away from the Jeter.

Although Jeter had reportedly decided she was going to break it off with Thompson, a fit of jealous rage allegedly led Yolanda to lure her husband into a murder scheme.

Yolanda allegedly convinced Pernell to get Jeter to meet him behind the Union YMCA building. It was there that Marisha Jeter was stabbed over 30 times. Afterward, Jeter's body was dumped in the Broad River in a rural area between Union and Chester.

The Thompsons have confessed to the murder and are awaiting trial.
