Jury convicts Jones on all 10 counts
DAKOTA CITY – A jury has convicted a Laurel man of four counts of first-degree murder.
A jury spent 10 days listening to evidence and about seven hours in deliberation to reach the verdict of guilty on all 10 counts - the first-degree murder charges, four felony weapons charges, and two counts of arson in the second-degree. Prosecutors had originally charged Jones with first-degree arson but the jury convicted him of the lesser degree.
Jones’ case will continue to a hearing in which the jury will consider aggravators.
He faces a potential death penalty sentence in the murders of Gene Twiford, 86, Janet Twiford, 85, Dana Twiford, 55, and Michele Ebeling, 53, at their Laurel homes on Aug. 4, 2022.
Check back for a complete story.
