Thanks so much FreeBird for your thoughs & prayers for the family & friends, but I can only speak for myself, this is another step in the process of Justice as we know it . For the Murder of a very Loved man "Scott Kirtley", by a wonderfull family as I have become to know them . The word closure is used a lot of times when some one loses a love one from an accident, illness ,sudden or over a long period of time. At some point maybe some kind of closure , peace to the familys, but something about when it is from the hands of someone else with intent, as this was to Murder for no real reason other than a 3 or 4 hundred dollars it adds so much to the pain. We know even after getting a conviction as the case with Riley, & I am sure not saying Duwon Jones is Guilty , the Jury will decide that in the next day or so. Most of the time a huge let down right after the court process is over to the familys ,of the fact , their love ones are still not here .The closure of knowing that person will not harm or kill another inoccent person does help . If that makes scence . "Justice For All _ Even The Victims"

Tennessee thinks that??? HMMMMM..... he was the LOOK-OUT, had been with the guy all day, and KNEW he was going in to get money... how is that the wrong place at the wrong time???

Too bad they didn't let Scott have a second chance... a second chance to see his kids, kiss his wife, hold his Mom... NOPE, he got NO second chances... so what are we going to do, act like since this guy is ONLY TWENTY, then he is entitled to special treatment??? UGH!

I am for SECOND CHANCES if they allow the person they are ROBBING to live and that second chance is granted to him too.... BUT they did NOT do that, they KILLED him in cold blood...

The LAWS are not encoded, they aren't secret, he KNEW what he was doing was wrong... and he is now going to suffer the consequences of his actions.
Here's FACT, NOT BS!!!
I owned a liquor store and was working the night of the murder. My store was 200 yards from Dandy II's. The pair came into my place at about 6:00 pm and Riley purchased two cigars and left when a couple of customers came in right behind him. Jones stayed outside and stood by the ice storage box. I always wondered if they had targeted me first and left when the customers came in. However, if they had tried to rob me the outcome may have been different because I had a 9mm Baretta (16 shots) within reach and was toting a .380 Sig (9 shots) and a .25 auto in my front pocket. Going up against a .22 I think I would have had him out gunned. However, it didn't fall that way and when the customer came into my store and said she had just come from Dandy's and there was something wrong because there was no clerk on duty, we never dreamed what had actually happened. Only when the next guy came running in and hollering call 911 there's been a shooting did we know what was going on.
Riley & Jones both were well know in the neighbor hood and folks knew to keep their stuff locked up or lose it to the pair's drug habits. IMHO Jones should be strapped to a gurney right next to Riley and should share the injection line with him. Riley's daddy told me that they both had been on a cocaine trip since the previous Thanksgiving and had been going wild.
Drugs may be the cause of Scott's death, but they are not an excuse, however, they should be the answer to the question of punishment. Live by the needle, die by the needle.

Whatever.

You "get a second chance" when you get caught stealing at a young age.

You "get a second chance" when they catch you vandalizing the golf course.

You DON'T get a second chance when you are an accessory to one of the most cold blooded murders this town has ever seen.

Perhaps "Duwon" should not share the lethal injection with the other piece of garbage but he should never, ever be allowed to breath freely again.

yeah it makes alot of since. My husband was killed in an auto accident and the lady that hit him was never charged although she should have been she just got a big settlement from the company where my husband worked cause the wreak occured on company time. The pain of losing a loved one never goes away no matter how your life goes on. nothing will bring them back. But justice will be served wither its here on earth or on Judgement day they will pay for what they did.

AMEN...I agree..he's just as guilty as the one that pulled the trigger. he could have stopped it.
After a little more than 2 hours the Jurors came back with a " Murder " Verdict around 6:30 pm thanks D A Chris Connoley & Florence Ploice , Judge Jones will sentence Dewon Jones in August , they will be a bond hearing Friday, Yes Pit Bull , Rilley had went in your store first & then to Dandy's , a tape showing him looking up to where the vidios was, about an hour before they came back to rob & kill Scott, Riley missed seeing one recording device, Scott Kirtley may have pushed a warning button under the counner, but it was not working that nite.
Certainly Connelly worked hard on this, but I still cannot fathom why Jones was not also tried for capital murder, as was the older Boyd brother some years ago (who was never proved to have assisted his younger before the fact as Jones has been proved to have assisted Riley). Jones can now be paroled on this felony murder conviction, while he could not have been on one of Capital murder.
I always thought that if anyone was involved in a felony (ROBBERY) and someone was murdered, that it didn't matter WHO pulled the trigger, everyone involved were guilth... .maybe that is a State by State law... I am not sure, I just watch a lot of the American Justice, Cold Case Files, and things like that, and everyone involved goes down!

Guess our laws haven't caught up with the rest of the Nation yet.
That's why Riley was tried for capital murder. He killed during an armed robbery, even though it wasn't premeditated (he said). Whether Jones deserves to be tried for the same or not, he admits knowing of the robbery in advance.

The older Boyd brother says he was guilty of only being drunk and driving his younger brother to get some money a former employer still owned him. Was he telling the truth? I have no idea, but it was certainly feasible, since nothing forensic tied him to the crime scene.

Jones knew before and after and probably supplied the gun. Why isn't Connelly trying him like Evans/Graham tried the older Boyd brother? (If Jones had the same caliber attorneys as the Boyd youth had, he would have had his trial moved to another venue also.)
I beleave D A Chris Connoley if he could have by Law he would have tired Jones for Capital Murder in this case, Judge Jones explained the Law to the Jurors as to what Jones could be charged for in this case . I don't care for Attoreny Jeff Austin ,I guess i just care for Defence Attorenys , but I will say he did a great job of tring to deffend Jones , but with the fact that Jones confessed to his in involement on tape & in writing , & things Jones stated as what he saw that nite before & during the robberie proved he did not run away & with his cell phone on speed dial to warn Riley if someone drove up & he did try to warn Riley by pushing the speed dial , but lost his cell on his phone. Them two facts is what convicted him a "Look Out". I have been to many murder trials , I do repect Doug Evans & "some" that worked for Steve Graham , I did not vote for Chris Connoley, But with the people Chris has hired working with him as a Crime Victim myself , it is so much better now than before, I Never Saw Steve Graham in the court room, even the capital murder cases I was at , he sure never showed his face at our trial. I talked to one of the Jorors after the conviction, she told me Jeff Austin did a good job, yes I guess if you as a Defence Attonrey & your defendant does not walk free or get the lesser of the charges it may appear to some that wasn't there , to think if another attoreny may have been better job for Jones , but by saying that even another jury may have been a defferent out come next time . I understand with people working they cann't take time off & go to a trials , but for the ones who are retired , it maybe something to thank of doing. " Justice For All _ Even The Victims "

You should hope and pray the the criminal got the best defense money can buy. Anything less would get him out on appeal or a technicality.

Defense attorney's perform an invaluable service to our legal system. Without them, our constitution would, quite literally, fall apart. Jeff Austin is one of the best out there. You and the scumbag criminal were luck to have him as a representative.
I did not say Jeff Austin was not a good attorney ,or not a good person & yes he was very repeckfull to the Kirtley family unlike some deffence Attorneys have been in some cases, weather he was court appointed or not he did a Great Job in trying to Defend the defendant, & yes they will be an appeal as in most all murder cases, & yes I understand how our Justice system works. I didn't care for Chriss Connoley when he was a Defence Attorney. " Justice For All _ Even The Victims "
