The conviction was delayed by UVA murderer

The move will probably in turn delay the publication by a taxpayer report of $ 1.5 million, which describes exactly what happened exactly in the night of November 13, 2022 that the university has previously refused to get.

Daily progress sues Uva to publish the report on the grounds that he violated Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act.

“It seems that this will delay the report for nine and a half months,” said Michael Haggard, a lawyer of three families from the dead, to The Daily Progress. “The victims are becoming victims over and over again.”

The decision to push back the conviction was announced in a telephone interview with the lawyer of Albemarle County Commonwealth, Jim Hingeley, the daily progress on Thursday, who refused to give a reason.

However, Haggard said that THEELEYY’s office applied for the delay after the defense recently provided a lengthy reduction report.

“What is so important you have to have your experts checked,” said Haggard. “It’s unhappy.”

Christopher Darnell Jones Jr. specified a planned legal proceedings in January last November when he accused two cases of malicious wounds and five firearms due to three murder systems.

The public prosecutor’s office in a hearing on November 20 revealed some details of the night of November 13, 2022 – including the anstious text messages that Jones sent to a younger brother and a mentor, but did not provide any real explanation for why the shooter opened the fire opened a charter bus. Return from an excursion to Washington, DC

Jones killed three students and Cavalier soccer players, Lavel Davis Jr., Devin Chandler and D’ean Perry, and injured two more, football players Mike Hollins and Marlee Morgan, the student in the second year.

The shootout rocked the university community and the surrounding Charlottesville. The football season ended shortly afterwards, and while the university immediately held a meeting in the town hall and a public monument for the three killed, questions have remained unanswered, e.g. For the university reasons that are prohibited, and why university officials and police did not react more enforceable when Jones’ behavior and arms chamber were reported to the shootout.

In contrast to Virginia Tech, which has commissioned a state -appointed body to examine a mass shooting there in 2007, UVA asked the Attorney General Jason Miyares to commission a team of lawyers to review the 2022 case. This review, which the university promised by November 2023, would not only be made available to the public to explain what has happened in detail, but also give insights into the way UVA and other universities can avoid the same thing again .

In November 2023, Uva rejected the publication of the report and has since refused every attempt to force its release. The reasons why the report remains under the castle and key have changed, depending on who and where. The university’s communication department said that the publication of the report would affect Jones’s criminal proceedings, the lawyers of the university have both explained in imprecise and would annoy the victims’ families.

The victims’ families became plainspoken: they want the report to be published.

A daily complaint for the compulsion of the university was unsuccessful after Angeley, the lawyer of the Commonwealth, had intervened in the case. Since then, daily progress has been against a state court in Richmond.

Uva says that he will publish the report at the end of Jones’ criminal proceedings, but the news on Thursday shows that this is a moving goal.

The spokesman for the university, Brian Coy, refused to comment on daily progress.

Each of Jones’ three murder clues can give a life conviction in prison.

At the end of a four -day hearing, his conviction was planned in front of Albemarle County Circuit Court from February 4 on February 4. Now it was planned as a five -day hearing from November 17th.

Haggard, the lawyer of the families, claims that the sentence of the conviction should not be used as an excuse to further delay the report.

“It is separated from criminal proceedings,” said Haggard.

He said that the press release would not only benefit the grieving families and the UVA community, but would also provide useful information for security officers on the campus nationwide.

“You can learn things that can save another student’s life,” said Haggard. “Other universities come together with the same problems: What do we do about weapons on campus? What do we do about red flags that appear through students? “

Haggard said he had repeatedly asked UVA to publish the report.

“Uva could be a leader,” said Haggard. “I only wish they would rise.”
