A Chester County woman and her live-in boyfriend will face a possible death sentence if they're convicted of murder in the torture killing of the woman's three-year-old son.
The Chester County district attorney's office filed formal notice Wednesday to seek the death penalty against Jillian Tait and Gary Fellenbaum III.
The couple appeared before a judge on video from prison for their formal arraignment. Both pleaded not guilty to the multiple charges against them, including first and third degree murder.
Tait and Fellenbaum are accused of hanging Tait's three-year-old son, Scott McMillan, upside down and whipping and beating him with a frying pan inside the mobile home they shared in West Caln Township in the days leading up to his death on Nov. 4.
Scott six-year-old brother was also abused, but he survived and was placed in foster care, authorities said.
Fellenbaum's estranged wife and infant daughter also lived with the couple and the two boys. Amber Fellenbaum is charged with failing to report the abuse.
