Vampchick has pleaded guilty to stabbing her mother and shooting her stepfather in March last year.

The blogger, who was 17 at the time of the killings, is now pleading guilty to second-degree homicide.

The State of Wisconsin found they were caused 'under the influence of adequate provocation' as Martinson said her stepfather had abused her mentally and verbally, and was physically violent towards Martinson's mother and younger siblings, People wrote.

Martinson said her stepfather Thomas Ayer (left) had abused her mother Jennifer (right) and her younger siblings, and that he subjected her to mental and verbal abuse.

Experts who interviewed Martinson after the slayings found she had post-traumatic stress disorder and depression after several of her mother's previous boyfriends abused her physically and verbally.

One of them burnt her with a cigarette, beat her and raped her when she was nine years old, the new court filings say.

Martinson said she witnessed Ayers physically abuse her mother and her siblings, two stepsisters and a half-sister aged nine, eight and two at the time of the killings.

Ayers would push, smack and choke Martinson's mother and hold a gun to her head if he was displeased, the new court records state.

 

 

 

 

Martinson turned to her mother for comfort (pictured) after shooting her stepfather, but the mother tried to help her husband instead and, according to court documents, grabbed a knife and 'approached' her daughter. The teenager stabbed her more than 30 times

They said he once choked one of the family's dogs and threw it against a wall before shooting it and feeding it to a bear, People reported. Martinson said Ayers sometimes killed baby animals in front of her and her siblings, telling them to watch the reaction of the animals' parents.

Two of the younger children told police their mother sometimes hit them with a belt as well. One of them said she took care of her younger sister, regularly feeding her, bathing her and   changing her diapers, as her mother didn't do it.

Martinson said Ayers, who had a criminal record with a history of domestic battery, assault menacing and kidnapping, didn't abuse her physically or sexually.

But she said he had her under strict house rules that amounted to mental and verbal abuse, People reported.

 

On the day of the killings, Martinson got into an argument with Ayers and her mother, who told her she wasn't allowed to communicate with Sisco anymore and confiscated her phone and her keys, according to the records.

Martinson left the house but said Ayers came to fetch her in his truck.

She took one of Ayers's loaded guns intending to kill herself, the court filings say. He banged on her door after telling her mother Martinson was probably doing 'something stupid'.

Martinson then 'considered whether Ayers should die rather than she', the court documents say. She shot him once in the neck and once in the neck to make sure he was dead and 'could not hurt her'.

When Martinson looked to her mother for comfort, the mother tried to help Ayers and yelled at her daughter instead, according to the filings.

Martinson's mother grabbed a knife and 'approached' her daughter, prompting Martinson to wrestle it from her and stab her more than 30 times with 'considerable force', the records state.

  

Her lawyers say she completely lost control at the time of the homicides, 'demonstrating anger, rage and exasperation as a person of ordinary intelligence and prudence under similar circumstances would have done'.

They will recommend a prison sentence of eight years and prosecutors will ask for 40 years as part of the plea deal.

Martinson previously faced a maximum sentence of life in prison.
