IN - Javon Blackwell, 42, Javon Jr., 12, & Jayzon, 11, fatally shot, Marion, 30 Dec 2018 *Arrests*

[Niner]

That's a good question. Maybe they don't yet realize there's a scheduling conflict? Or maybe someone is working on a plea?

If working on a plea - I would say it is Drake. Or actually could be Jackson since he is already in prison for 120 years for the Blackwell murders... who knows?!! LOL!

 

[Niner]

So @FrostedGlass - any updates on Jones' next hearing or is it just his trial coming up on 5/15/23?

I have Jackson & Drake on 5/11/23 for pretrial hearing

@FrostedGlass - but Jones & Jackson were already sentenced for the Blackwell murders - they are on trial for Sanders murder.
She is still on the Blackwell murders - so I do not see why they keep moving her trial date... ??

But - thanks for the update!

You're welcome. Maybe, since she knows them, she knew things about both murders? Other than that, I have no idea why they would keep pushing her dates out.
