Jerry Jones Sentenced to Die for the Murders of 4 Family Members
A jury has given Jerry Jones a death sentence for the killings of his infant daughter and three of his ex-girlfriend's relatives in Gordon County, Georgia.
Jones pleaded guilty to murder in the January 2004 killings of Tom and Nola Blaylock, their daughter Georgia Mae Bradley, and Jones' daughter, 10-month-old Jerri Jones.
Authorities say that after the killings, Jones fled with Melissa
Peeler's three surviving children, two of them his own.
He was captured that night in East Ridge, Tennessee.
The three children were found unharmed but Jones shot himself in the face.
He spent months in a prison hospital.
