Lynn & Lindsey Maxwell: 2 Years In Jail
Erin died in the family’s Palermo home, a home filled with animals and the smell of feces. She died in her bedroom, a room that had two doors with locks on each one.
Her stepbrother, Alan Jones, was convicted of killing her. He’s awaiting sentencing. Erin’s father and stepmother were convicted after a two week town court trial of putting Erin in harm’s way by keeping an untidy home and by locking her in her room — charges the defense vigorously denied.
After court, a shouting match erupted when one of Lynn’s former coworkers shouted, “Bye, Lynn” at her. Defense lawyer Sal Lanza, who had just asked the judge to ask everyone to stay silent, shouted back.
The shouting resumed in the parking lot, with Lanza telling people to “go back to their trailers” and “collect their welfare checks”.
The Maxwells will serve their time in the Oswego County Correctional Facility.
Lanza is appealing the conviction and plans to ask the judge to release the Maxwells on bail while the appeal is decided.
