Pammy Maye Faces Life Sentence in Darnell Taylor Case | Columbus News

Fifty-year-old Pammy Maye faces life in prison after allegedly murdering five-year-old Darnell Taylor in a Columbus sewer in February 2024—charges she reportedly confessed to. Prosecutors now offer a plea deal for aggravated murder and abuse of a corpse, carrying a 21-year to life sentence. Maye, who was temporarily caring for Darnell and previously pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, was found competent to stand trial. A prior lawsuit accused her of years of abuse, adding gravity to the case. She must decide by Friday or next Monday whether to accept the deal or go to trial, with proceedings set for August 10.
