Now, granted, even with getting hit with this harsh reality, I doubt she changes because the moment her daughter walked up on that stand to testify, her emotion didn't change once. No remorse, nothing. The judge tells her she gets 60 years, no emotion.
Yeah.
I was. I was. I was front row. Her attorney had asked for probation, said that she had, you know, had tried to commit suicide three times in her life. Once when she was 12 years old, when he said that, her mother went. And I might have never heard of that before.
Apparently once in high school and then once in jail. But he's like, you know, we think rehabilitation and probation, like we really think we can get her there. It'd be the best route.
She'd already went to therapy, whatever, twice. And. First time was a week. The second time was like a month since all this had came out in 2022. And the judge sat there and he's like, you know, he's like, I'm not going to say it. Actually, I am. We don't want you to commit suicide, but I can. You are a danger to society and I can't allow you to walk the streets.
And he's like, and I'm going to send it to you to 60 years. Cause I'd went in, I'd went, I had friends that were like, Hey, you know, all this, they got on her now she's going to get 45. I was like, no, never. I was like, I would put money on that. I said, most women either walk away with probation or just a couple of years. That's it.
Well, I was telling people, if she gets 20, I'll be happy. 30, I'll be ecstatic. And if she got 40 years, I'd sing Hallelujah. It shouldn't even have been a worry from the get-go because Weber handed the DA's office this case on a silver platter. And they're like, no, let's just put it on a paper plate. That's really how it felt. I mean, I had to fight them the whole time to stay after it.
So once they said 60, I was just, the rest of that day, I was in shock. I was, I couldn't even drive. And I think it was also the shock that it was finally over.
I stayed and stayed on top of them. I know they probably hated me by the end, but I don't care. You can hate me, but it's my kids that I'm fighting for. Um, I had even went to the point of before the sentence was made or for the court date, I had tried to go to the elected DA of Tarrant County. I tried to set up a meeting, the highest of the highest of the high you can go, Phil Sorrell.
So I tried to go there. And they're like, why do you want a meeting? This is your DA. And I'm like, I know that's my DA, but I want to talk to this guy about how it's going and problems I'm having. Okay, I will have them get in contact with you. I have not to this day heard anything.
So, I want to do the best I can to get this known about. Not just my case, but this disease, this illness, whatever you want to call it, so that our DA's offices, our judges, our... And detectives, you know, doctor, everybody needs to be more aware of this and know about it more. The society, you know, needs to know about it more. There needs to be more things that can help, you know.
And I've told Detective Weber, I talk to him often now, and that's my goal for the rest of my life is help. To do what I can to help. I'm going to try to do whatever I can to come up with anything that I can think of. And it may be the silliest idea and everybody can shoot me down, but I'm going to do what I can to try to help implement things that can help to protect kids.
Because first person that's supposed to protect them are the parents. And if the parents ain't, somebody else has got to try to help. Yeah.
Kids grow up supposed to trust their parents and look up to them. Maybe I can help. Like I said, even if I help two or three kids out, then I will feel accomplished.
It's they're blossoming now. They're doing great. They've. They've taken my girlfriend in. We've been together for two years and the girls don't talk. The youngest ones don't talk about Jessica anymore. Once in a blue moon, will they bring her up? But they talk about how she's a bad person. They now call refer to my girlfriend as mother Jessica. They've attached.
She's actually shown them what a mother figure is supposed to be. The oldest one is sucked right up to her. They're two peas in a pod. I swear half the time, if anything was ever happening to her, she's going to choose her over me. Not really. She's going to be a daddy's girl, but... they've sucked up right to her. And, you know, so they're, they're really blossoming.
I mean, it's just great to actually see them get to grow and enjoy what childhood they, the oldest one gets to enjoy what childhood she has left, but then the other ones they get to, you know, they were young enough that I want to just fill their life with joy so that maybe they can push most of those bad memories out.
Hey, thank you for having me on here.
All right. So my name is Derek Jones. I'm the father of the oldest and the youngest victims in the case.
Well, hopefully soon. OK, so you've been trying for a while.
