OMG! A heartless woman from Philadelphia who kept kept six disabled adults and four children chained up in her basement like animals while she collected their disability check which summed up to $212,000 over 10 years was sentenced to life in prison on Thursday.

Linda Weston, 55, apologized during the hearing, saying: 'I believe in God and God knows what happened.'
U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe replied that: 'There are a lot of people in this courtroom who know what happened too,' according to Philly.com.

Two of the women Weston held captive later died

She pleaded guilty to all 196 counts against her that also include kidnapping, racketeering conspiracy and murder in aid of racketeering, hate crimes, sex trafficking and fraud.


Several victims described their horrific experiences before Thursday's sentencing.
Weston has been in custody since October 2011, when a landlord found four bedraggled adults locked in a squalid boiler room of a home in the Tacony section of northeast Philadelphia and called police.
