I just started reading this case yesterday, there are no words to describe how I feel right now after. I do have one question though, Where is Erin's bio "mom" I only remember reading a small bit about her that Erin had spent the summer with her.
This is just so tragic on so many different levels.

That's a pretty picture of Erin. I had not been about to view the picture before. For some reason when I first came to this thread the picture had not been download for me to view it as I was scrolling through the posts.

I just wanted to post Erin's pic, to remind us of the young life that was ended far too soon.
Defense rests in Alan Jones murder trial
By Jim Kenyon
Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 6:33 p.m.
OSWEGO -- Unless something unforeseen happens, a jury of twelve men will decide the innocence or guilt of Alan Jones on the charge of murder in the death of his stepsister, Erin Maxwell. Jones is accused of strangling the 11-year-old Maxwell in their home in Palermo in August of 2008.
The testimony portion of the Jones trial ended Tuesday afternoon, and the defense rested its case. Joness attorney, Salvatore Lanza, asked Oswego County Court Judge Walter Hafner to dismiss the charges against Jones outside of the presence of the trial jury. Lanza claimed that the prosecution has not proven its case against his client.
Judge Hafner denied the defenses request, and asked both sides if they would consider a reduced charge of manslaughter instead of the more serious murder charge. Both Lanza and District Attorney Donald Dodd refused.

Guilty verdict in Alan Jones murder trial
Updated 4:40 PM
Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 4:17 p.m.
OSWEGO -- Alan Jones has been found guily of second degree murder by "depraved indifference" in the death of his stepsister, Erin Maxwell.
The jury foreman looked directly at Jones as he read the verdict. Jones reacted by sitting down and putting his face in his hands as the judge thanked and excused the jury.
The Oswego County jury of 12 men took approximately 12 hours over two days to come to the verdict, requiring multiple readbacks of witness testimony as well as extra instructions from the trial judge, Walter Hafner. They had also asked for all evidence, including more than a hundred photos, diagrams, witness statements and physical items.

Ohhh, look at that beautiful child, with such a sweet smile. Thank you CT...
This is another case that just churns my stomach.
Why did CPS abandon this baby? With so many people offering to help her...
If her father and his wife cared so little as they seem. Why did they not just hand her over to the state?
It must have been some huge inconvenience for them every time CPS knocked on their door and suggested they clean the place up and start keeping some food in the house for their child and not just for their pets. They obviously don't care what other people think... It's not like anyone would have criticized them, if I knew them and knew their child had been put into foster care, I would have thanked them for caring enough to get her out of their sty.

believe09, You are absolutely right. Who are they kidding?
I am reading about this case for the first time, Sept. 09. I am so disgusted something like this can take place, I have to vent and say what I think.
This beautiful child did NOT choose to live in this 'hog-pen' with 120 cats, and 3-foot high piles of feces, 12 dead kittens in the freezer, two chickens and a snake.
This case is beyond sad, the neglect and starvation of this child is beyond words. She had no where to turn and no one to save her from this household.
It's unimaginable to think what this child endured at home and at school.
someone, other than the rapist and killer, needs to be held responsible.
Im reading it for the first time today, Did her parents receive any kind of punishment, did the stepmonster, I mean stepmother lose her job? In a town that i used to live the parents of a murdered child's house was burned to the ground from outraged people. What has become of these two people that locked and starved a sweet child, im sick thinking people like this exist even. It goes to show you if you work hard enough (to destroy your child) then that is exactly what you will get plus some.

PALERMO, OSWEGO COUNTY -- Lindsey and Lynn Maxwell, the father and stepmother of Erin Maxwell, have been found guilty on all four counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
The Palermo Town Court jury handed down its decision at 10:17 on Saturday night after deliberating for about four hours. Both Maxwell parents were led out of the courtroom in handcuffs by New York State Police, and said nothing to the 25 to 30 onlookers who came out to watch the trial on a daily basis. Their bail was raised to $10,000. Defense attorney Sal Lanza admits he was surprised by the final verdict, saying he expected the couple to be found innocent on at least a couple of the charges.

Lanza says sentencing has been scheduled for October 12th in the case. Lanza says he plans to start looking at an appeal, and possibly delay sentencing in the case. The Maxwells can be sentenced up to one year in prison for each one of the four charges they are convicted of. State Law would not allow them to serve more than two years in Oswego County jail because their crimes were misdemeanors.
