Judge Plans Joint Trial
WEST VIRGINIA....
During a recent court hearing, Kanawha County Circuit Judge Charlie King told defense attorneys that, unless they can give him a good reason otherwise, he plans a joint trial for 19 year old James Ryan Usher, 24 year old Jessica McClure and 26 year old Della Kay Jackson. Usher and Jackson are accused of duct-taping the ankles of McClure's 2 year old son, binding his arms to his body and taping his mouth shut before taking a digital picture of him while watching the boy at McClure's West Side home. McClure was not home at the time. Jackson and Usher are charged with felony child abuse, and McClure is charged with felony child neglect. King granted a motion for a psychological evaluation of Jackson and set a tentative trial date of May 3rd.
