Supreme Court of South Carolina

State v. Timothy Ray Jones Jr.

March 29, 2023

Summary

The court affirmed Jones's five murder convictions and death sentence. It upheld the challenged juror rulings, the refusal to inform the jury about the consequences of an insanity verdict, and the denial of suppression, while finding certain sentencing-phase evidentiary errors harmless. The court also determined the death sentence was proportionate and supported by the statutory aggravating circumstances.
