Jones’ Back In Trouble

The Ohio Supreme Court has reinstated the 10-year prison sentence given to an Ohio couple…convicted of failing to obtain medical care for their special-needs daughter who died. In a 6-1 ruling, the justices found the 8th District Court of Appeals overstepped its authority in 2018 when it determined the sentence given to Randy and Carissa Jones was too harsh. They were convicted in 2015 of involuntary manslaughter and child endangering in 12-year-old Tia Jones’ death and have remained jailed since the sentence was imposed.
