Innocent beyond a reasonable doubt

Brett Jones is innocent. He told the truth. For telling the truth he got sentenced to life without parole. Brett was assaulted and being choked to death by a mentally ill man in a rage and was afraid of dying. His grandfather had mental illness and his grandmother corroborated Brett’s story. His jury and no jury has ever heard his grandmother's powerful testimony. It was never presented to a jury. It was presented to a judge, who found no reason to believe this widow, an honest woman who was married to the victim for over 40 years and had been a victim of his aggression. His court-appointed attorney didn't feel it was important to call her as a witness for Brett and failed to pursue her testimony or interview her before trial. He interviewed her the day of trial and chunked her off, instead deciding to present not one witness on Brett's behalf. The "no defense" defense. Better known as "sound trial strategy". His "counsel" took his state pay of $1,000 and stuffed it in his pocket, never opening the file or preparing for trial. The state’s key witnesses were both proven liars. Michelle Austin told numerous stories and then told even a different story on the witness stand, of which she admitted was made up. She has recently in the past few days accused Brett of raping her because she thought he had been released. But he hadn’t. Her evil never ends. Robert Ruffner aka “Frisco” is a convicted thief who was recently denied parole from the Alabama parole board where he is locked up for robbery. The morning of Brett’s grandfather’s death he was accused of stealing his lawn mower and Brett's grandfather had threatened to beat his ass if he ever came over on his property again. Strangely, Frisco had been beat up that day, but he said his uncle beat him up. Brett was the only one who told the truth. He had been attacked, assaulted in a tiny corner of the kitchen of his grandparent’s home. He was being choked to death and was half the size of his grandfather who was in a rage. He did the only thing he could do at the time, he tried to get him off of him by grabbing a knife off the kitchen counter that was laying there. He tried to get the man off of him by poking him lightly with it but he kept coming at him and Brett ended up fatally wounding him to save his own life. Then he tried to save his grandfather’s life. This is what a barely 15 year old 8th grade child had to endure alone, by himself. His grandmother had left for work at Wal-mart when his grandfather attacked him. She has said she was afraid to leave Brett home alone that day with the man she had been married to for over 40 years. A man she knew to be violent, aggressive and in declining mental health, but who she could do nothing to help because he refused to get treatment. Numerous family members agreed that Bertis Jones was crazy. The police interrogated Brett alone, at night, after he had fought for his life and his grandfather’s life, in shock, scared and vulnerable. They used all his words against him in court. They got a murder conviction based on lies, deceit, and corruption. Brett told the truth and got life without parole. Everyone else lied and they are free. And one is still lying. The lawyer assigned to Brett by Judge Gardner did nothing for weeks after he was arrested. Didn’t bother to see him or document the bruises around his neck. No photographer ever came to take pictures of his injuries although he asked for one. By the time anyone saw him, no evidence remained of his struggle with his grandfather except a photograph of Brett that the Daily Journal had on file that showed his bruised neck. Judge Gardner apparently ignored it when we presented it to him after obtaining it from the newspaper. His parents were denied access to their minor child for over a month. Brett was railroaded and taken advantage of by everyone who was supposed to protect him. He has no one but me. If anyone thinks for one minute they are going to get away with this intolerable, despicable, EVIL act of injustice perpetrated on this “child”, they are sorely mistaken because I will fight till my dying breath for him, a child (now a young man) who told the truth and just wanted to live to see another day. Both key states’ witnesses are dishonest lowlifes. One is falsely accusing an incarcerated person of rape and the other is locked up in an Alabama prison. Both took deals from the state to lie and convict an innocent child. And a worthless, lazy attorney is still in business. And the fired and discredited forensic pathologist who has been lying to juries about his board certification for over 25 years and who was the only expert at Brett's trial, is still on the loose, never investigated for his fraudulent theories that have put more than one innocent person behind bars and on death row. State of Mississippi…..we’re waiting for justice for this child, however long it takes. Folks, this can happen to you or your children.
