Nobody Should Believe Me · Case Files 08: Jesika Jones Part 3 with Derek Jones · 12 Dec 2024 podcast

And I'm like, oh, okay. So I'm like, I am so sorry, sister. I wish I'd have known. She was like, you had no way of knowing dad.

And, you know, and that was the part that hit me is the oldest one. There was a lot of sports that she wasn't allowed to play because, oh, she had, you know, these restrictions because she might have seizures and the heat might make her have them or she gets hit just right. It might make her have them. And so there was a lot she missed out on most of her childhood. Yeah.

You know, granted she still has some, she's now a teenager, but she didn't get to experience going and staying the night at friend's house and having those sleepovers, slumber parties and everything like that. And so I'm just trying to give them the best life that I can now. And as all that came out, then it moved into the DA's office and that was a struggle within itself.

That was the next battle.

Yes, she gets arrested. Weber gets a warrant together. Then once she gets arrested, she gets bailed out and gets sent to the D.A. And from there, you know, Weber told me, he said, you know, it can take time. These things aren't just a few months and we're done. I start out with one DA. Then apparently she moves offices, so I get a new one. The first one I had, she would stay in contact.

She's like, hey, just checking in. Any new news that you've heard? This is where we're at right now. The new one, I heard from him when he called me to tell me that he was my new DA. And then I didn't hear from him for another six, seven months once I started really calling him.

He wanted to... At first it was, you know... these types of cases are hard to try and this very well could end in probation. You know, I just wanted you to be prepared. You know, we gotta have, we gotta have enough facts and everything. And he was wanting to really play it off. Like it was a probation case.

And I'm like, I I'd been doing some research on the side and I joined a group for other people that have gone through this or going through this. And, and I'm like, I know that a lot of this does end in probation. I know that a lot of them walk away. And the ones that don't, they get a couple years. I know that, but I know that we also have a lot of evidence in this one.

Well, you had her admittance to it. Yeah.

You had the evidence in the purse. You, I mean, she straight up said she did, you know.

Yeah. And you start getting all this stuff adding up more and more. But it was almost like the DA was uninvolved. It was just, it was another case. Now, granted, I know they're busy. I know they got, you know, big caseloads. But or big workloads. But it was almost felt like for the longest time that it was thrown on the back burner. You know, again, another continuance, another continuance.

It just kept pushing out and kept pushing out. And I'm like, hey, why do we keep pushing out here? And I was giving him names that people that were close and I thought may be beneficial. They had information and come to find out he wasn't. I was finding out he wasn't talking to these people. And so at one point I had had enough. So we'd got her. She went in there and. She open pled guilty.

They'd offered her a plea deal of 10 years. I knew she wouldn't take that. She thinks she's walking away with probation.

I think so. She said no to the plea and she went in and said, I'm guilty. But to open plea, she didn't want a jury trial. So she pretty much open pled guilty to the judge where once they do that, they do what they call a PSI. Pre-sentencing investigation.

So they pretty much, they have another investigator go through a context, everybody, and he writes down, he's neither for the defendant or the victim. He's for the judge. And what he does, he puts this story together for the judge and he's not trying to make one side look better than the other. He's putting it together and then putting what he has seen from it and what he thinks is

And pretty much that's the whole trial for the judge. So you don't have to go in there.

So it was a police officer. He works with the judge. You can still bring people in, but majority of it's done so that it's not two, three hour, full day, two day case, whatever. It's normally in and out 30, 45 minutes.

Yeah, he's putting he's putting pretty much the whole scenario together for the judge. The judge can read it before he walks in. And so I'm in communications with this PSI investigator. I'm not going to use his name, but he's a godsend too. That guy really goes above and beyond for his job, for the work he does, and he put in the time and the effort.

And this guy right here, Weber praises on this guy. I mean, this guy – He kind of, he didn't go through the same situation, but they had a, you know, similar, but not similar situation. So he kind of understood a little bit. And, you know, he was like, he talked to my oldest and he was very, you know,

professional and just very calming to her he got her to talk and you know he's like and during her investigation he's like hey you know once this is all done your mom may or may not end up going to jail but if she does i don't want you to turn around and blame yourself for this and she she she's like hey i hope it is my fault i don't want her to be able out here to hurt any more kids
