SAID HER HEART BREAKS FOR THE KIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES. NOW TO CEDAR COUNTY COURT WHERE CARRIE JONES APPEARED BEFORE A JUDGE. SHE’S CHARGED WITH MURDER AND TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE. PROSECUTORS THINK SHE HELPED HER HUSBAND, JASON JONES, IN A QUADRUPLE MURDER CASE THAT HAPPENED LAST AUGUST IN THE SMALL TOWN OF LAUREL. THAT’S WHERE KETV NEWSWATCH 7 ALEX MCLOON IS WITH TODAY’S DEVELOPMENTS FROM COURT. IT’S BEEN FIVE MONTHS SINCE FOUR PEOPLE WERE KILLED HERE IN LAUREL. THE VICTIMS FAMILIES WATCHED CARRIE JONES WALK INTO COURT THIS MORNING, WHO IS YET TO ENTER A PLEA IN THE CHARGES AGAINST HER. FOR THE RECORD, ARE YOU WITH JONES?

LIKE SCOTTSBLUFF, AS WELL AS THE LITERARY RECOGNIZES THAT THIS WAS AN IMPACTFUL EVENT ON SUCH A SMALL COMMUNITY THAT IT MAY BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE JURY IN THIS COMMUNITY. A JUDGE ALSO GRANTED ANOTHER ATTORNEY FOR JONES PROSECUTORS DESCRIBED THIS CASE AS RIGOROUS. PROSECUTORS AGAIN DECLINED TO DISCUSS ANY POSSIBLE MOTIVE UNTIL THE TRIALS HERE IN LAUREL.

DEFENSE ATTORNEYS FOR JASON JONES ARE ASKING A JUDGE TO THROW OUT THE DEATH PENALTY AGAINST HIM. PROSECUTORS ARGUED THERE’S ENOUGH EVIDENCE THAT WARRANTS THE DEATH PENALTY.

THEY WERE FOUND IN TWO SEPARATE HOMES BACK IN AUGUST, BOTH OF WHICH WERE STARTED ON FIR
