About
Julie Jones testified for the defense on Day 31 about her family relationship with Tim, her care for the children, and the family's contact with them. She identified family photographs and a video that were admitted and shown to the jury, recalled the family's response after the children were reported missing, and described the grief that followed.
Julie Jones said she still loved Tim, opposed a death sentence, and asked for mercy. On cross-examination, she described frequent earlier family contact but said that after Tim left with the children on Christmas Eve 2012, she did not see him or the grandchildren again.
The prosecutor also examined the limits of her knowledge about later events. Julie Jones said she was unaware of DSS involvement in South Carolina and of spice use or abuse by Timmy, while recalling alcohol use and smoking during earlier visits.
