Michael Wayne Jones Death sentence and interrogation pt2
A Florida man who fatally beat his wife with a bat and later strangled their four kids was sentenced to death Friday. At a brief hearing, Ocala County Judge Anthony Tatti formalized Michael Jones fate after a jury recommended the death penalty at a January sentencing trial. A lawyer for the quintuple killer said he plans to appeal the sentence, according to the Ocala Star Banner. The grisly July 2019 deaths were triggered after Jones wife, Casei Jones, accused him of cheating on her after she combed through his phone. Jones later told cops that his wife raised a bat during a vicious fight inside their Marion County home and that he bludgeoned her to death with the weapon in a blind fury. The four young children two of whom he shared with his spouse were asleep during the beating and did not wake Jones took his two stepchildren, Preston Bowers, 4, and Cameron Bowers, 8, to stay with their dad and dropped off his own children, Mercalli Jones, 2, and Alyana Jones,
