Odell Jones was acquitted after a trial that hung largely on the word of his co-defendant, Darryl Hickman.
OAKLAND — A 30-year-old man was acquitted of murder, robbery and assault charges Monday, in a case that hinged largely on the word of a co-defendant who agreed to testify in exchange for leniency.
“We are very pleased with the jury’s decision,” Jones’ attorney, Annie Beles, said after the verdict, but declined to comment further. Joshua Sessions identified Jones as the shooter, but had previously picked someone else out of a photo lineup and told police he wasn’t 100 percent sure about Jones being there. Hickman also identified Jones as his cohort, but Beles argued to the jury that Hickman was just “trying to save his own skin” by giving police a name to avoid a life sentence.
