Jury sentences SC man to death for killing his 5 children in 2014
LEXINGTON — Jurors sentenced Timothy Jones Jr. to death on Thursday for killing his five children in their rural Lexington County trailer in 2014, despite pleadings from his family to spare him.
“These five little babies finally got justice,” Solicitor Rick Hubbard said after the five-week trial concluded.
In his closing argument, he told jurors to disregard family members’ pleas, saying they’re straining to believe an alternative reasoning for the crime’s horrors because they can’t accept Jones’ brutal jealousy and manipulation that continues even from prison.
