Appellate Court Reduces Jones’ Conviction
The appellate Court held that, as a matter of law, the evidence before the jury was legally insufficient to establish that Jones acted with the mental State of depraved indifference at the time he caused Erin Maxwell’s death. He is, however, guilty of second-degree manslaughter and will be returned to county court to be re-sentenced on that charge – maximum sentence of 5 to 15 years in state prison.
