A month after his former co-accused admitted guilt and were sentenced for their roles in a series of 2009 crimes, Colin Jones yesterday copped to 12 charges, including three counts of manslaughter, the attempted murder of policemen and setting a section of the Supreme Court on fire, for which he will spend the next 25 years behind bars.
Jones, called “Bonnie,” pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter for the November 4, 2009, unlawful killing of Woodette Roberts. He was indicted for murder, but his plea to the lesser charge was accepted by Justice Navindra Singh, who imposed a 25-year sentence at the High Court in Georgetown.
