The process of finding the 12 Madison County jurors who will determine Carrie Jones’ guilt or innocence began on Monday at Madison Public Schools.
The 46-year-old Laurel woman appeared alongside her attorneys, Doug and Nate Stratton, in what was the beginning of a trial that could last up to three weeks. Picking a jury is expected to take two days.
Carrie Jones is charged with the Aug. 4, 2022, murder of 86-year-old Gene Twiford under an aiding and abetting theory.
She is not accused of physically carrying out Twiford’s murder, but she allegedly pressured her husband, Jason Jones, to “do something” about Twiford’s behavior, which involved Twiford behaving inappropriately toward Carrie Jones over a span of multiple years whenever the two crossed paths.
Jason Jones stands convicted of killing Twiford and three others; he could face the death penalty.
