She admitted one count of first degree murder for shooting social worker Lara Sobel as she walked from her office to her car on August 7, 2015.<br />
Herring also pleaded guilty to three counts of second degree murder for the deaths of her cousins, Rhonda and Regina Herring, and her aunt 73-year-old Julie Falzarano.</p>

<div class="container-36EYi vertical--v2Ug">While pleading guilty to quadruple murder during a court hearing in Barre, Vermont, on Thursday, Jody Herring, 42, admitted that she was angry at the three members of her family for reporting her to the state when she killed them.</div>
</div>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Herring now faces life imprisonment. She will be sentenced at a later date.<br />
On August 7, Herring shot 48-year-old Sobel twice with a hunting rifle outside The Department for Children and Families in Barre, Vermont, but was then tackled to the ground by by-standers, before she could escape.<br />
She was arrested on the spot.<br />
The next day, police found the bodies of 43-year-old Regina and 48-year-old Ronda Herring at a home in the nearby town of Berlin. Their elderly mother had also been slaughtered.<br />
Herring lost custody of her nine-year-old daughter a month before the killing rampage. The little girl remains in the custody of the state.<br />
She initially pleaded not guilty to all of the murder charges and was due to face trial in August.</p>

<p>Court documents in the DUI case stated that Herring was “an intravenous heroin user.” She has one drug conviction on her record, a case from 2003 that resulted in a suspended sentence and probation for misdemeanor heroin possession.<br />
She has 11 misdemeanor convictions dating to 1994, including drunken driving, fraud and a domestic-assault case that eventually was amended to disorderly conduct, records show.<br />
During the last drunk driving arrest, Herring told the police she had one tequila drink more than two hours earlier at a club in Connecticut. She also said she was taking the attention-deficit-disorder drug Ritalin and had been the victim of a domestic assault the previous October in which she was strangled.</p>

<p>Court papers from 2015 revealed how Herring laughed and made jokes with police officers as they arrested her immediately after Sobel&#8217;s death.</p>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">She had blood stains on her clothes but was otherwise unaffected by the killing.<br />
Sobel was survived by her husband and two daughters. Colleagues described her as a fierce advocate for children.<br />
Details surrounding her role in Herring&#8217;s custody woes are vague. It is not clear what prompted her to recommend the child be taken out of care or if it was entirely her decision.<br />
Herring has previous convictions for offences including domestic violence.<br />
On Thursday, relatives of her victims wept in the public gallery as the murderess calmly answered the judge&#8217;s questions.</p>
