Rosenthall entered one of the two victims home and stabbed them leaving them with an evisceration wound to the stomach and stabbing the other about the back and the groin area.
The state's attorney said witnesses say Rosenthall exited the home with two knives in hand stating, “I just killed them.”
Assistant State’s Attorney Lauren Heischmidt secured a guilty plea from the defendant today and she will be serving 15 years jail time at 85 percent of the time served on the two counts of attempted murder.
