Since I asked back in Sept. @Tippy Lynn - hate to bother you again - but was wondering if the robbery trial was still on for 10/26 or if there might be a hearing date before than. See you post #159 for trial info!

TIA!

Plead not guilty. Held without bond.
Bench Trial began on 3/10/20-Blackwell-found guilty of all charges; sentenced on 4/3/20 to 200 years in prison. 4/8/20: Appealed sentencing.
9/10/20: The Trial Court abused its discretion in imposing consecutive sentences without stating the reasons for imposing consecutive sentences. Because the trial court failed to articulate why Jones's sentenced should be both enhanced and the separate counts run consecutively to one another, the case should be remanded back to the trial court.
