Description
The defendant, David Jones, was convicted by a jury of first-degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. He now appeals alleging that the trial court denied him an opportunity to re-file a plea of insanity and that there was insufficient evidence to support the verdict. A summary of the facts from the record reveals the following. Mrs. Myrl Freeman was murdered at about 7:45 p.m. on November 7, 1975. The cause of death was established as multiple stab wounds. Her body was discovered the next afternoon by her son and daughter-in-law and blood was found splattered all over the kitchen. Two witnesses saw the defendant on the road in front of Mrs. Freeman's house at 7:55 p.m. on the evening of the murder. The front door of Mrs. Freeman's house was ordinarily kept locked and visitors entered the home by a side door. However, the day after the murder, the front door was found open, unbolted from the inside, and defendant's fingerprints were found on this door. There was testimony to the effect that the defendant admitted he killed Mrs. Freeman to a fellow inmate in the Bartholomew County jail.
