Brian Jones
Everyone is talking about Brian Jones. He’s a Public Defender in Ohio.
Judge Plough appointed Mr. Jones to be an attorney for Jordan Scott. The trial was resceduled from 11am to 1 30 pm, to allow the defense preparation time.
Just prior to the trial commencement Atty Jones informed the court he couldnt go on because he was not ready yet. Apparently its policy not to take cases to trail on such a short notice. The judge held the public defender in contempt, and called for a sheriff to remove him from the courtroom.
The attorney spent 5 hours in jail before he was able to make bail.
This is the second time this judge has done this, and the other time it was the same situation. The judge will assign a public defender to a case that goes to trial 48 hours before the trial, giving the defense no time to prepare their arguments. Is this guy a Nazi? Wow.
Organizations that believe in fair trials are coming to Jones’ defense. Judge Plough seems unmoved.It seems this Judge has always been the center of controversy, including his election win to the office.
