About

Beattie Butler appeared on Day 26 as counsel for Timothy Jones, Sr. in his capacity as a victim. Butler asked to examine Jones before the jury, ask what sentence Jones desired, and deliver a closing address on his behalf.

The State opposed allowing Butler to recommend a sentence or make a closing argument, arguing that no authority permitted the requested role and that the jury alone could decide the sentence. The court said it would review the cited case and notify the parties; no substantive ruling appears in this proceeding.
