@Niner So is this how it's going? Jones ratted out Jackson and Drake, so he'll be the last to be sentenced to make sure his statements are accurate? Then Drake cooperated, so they'll also leave her to last, too. *Speculation*

I haven't seen any indication that the trial is happening. I think we would have at least seen something about jury selection. I don't find anything in the news and there's no updates on his case.

During an interview with officers, Jones told officers of other crimes involving two other individuals, 25-year-old Demetrius Jackson and 29-year-old Brittany Drake.

Jones also faces preliminary charges for a Dec. 23 armed robbery of a Marion Family Dollar store.

Additionally, during the course of the interview with Jones, officers learned more information, which lead to arrests in the Dec. 30 murders of 42-year-old Javon Blackwell, Javon Blackwell Jr.12 and 11-year-old Jayzon Blackwell.

3 arrested in connection to 4 murders in Marion

Three people are under arrest in connection to four murders, acording to the Marion Police Department.

@Niner They were running behind on their updating; they added these to Jones' case. They weren't there when I checked Monday.
I'm deleting all the rescheduled dates because the list is so long. If you need them, I can leave them in.
