Thank you @FrostedGlass for all the new info! I figured that trial would be rescheduled....

 

[FrostedGlass]

I thought for sure that one was good to go, especially since it's the oldest one. Why did you think it would be rescheduled?

So... @FrostedGlass - he is going to serve the max 60 years & minimum 15 yrs?

Right?

So... @FrostedGlass - he is going to serve the max 60 years & minimum 15 yrs?

Right?

It looks to me like the three murder charges are consecutive to each other and the burglary charge runs concurrent to all three. So, my guess would be he's looking at 180 years. Since the robbery charge runs concurrent, it's kind of a non-issue. We'll know for sure when Indiana DOC gets his judgement.

Vine still has him in Grant Co. jail.

Okay - I thought that - but wasn't to sure - get confused on the consecutive sentences. But sounds about right - Jones got 200 years for this murder.
