Serial murder suspect pleads not guilty in Alabama killing

By GARRY MITCHELL
Associated Press Writer

Suspected serial killer Jeremy Bryan Jones pleaded not guilty Tuesday and blurted out "I ain't crazy" as a judge ordered him to undergo psychiatric testing before his capital murder trial in the death of a Mobile County woman.

Mobile County Circuit Judge Charles A. Graddick, who set the trial for Aug. 15, cautioned Jones at his arraignment against making any further comment without his attorney's permission.

Court-appointed defense attorney Habib Yazdi reached to put his hand over Jones' mouth to prevent him from speaking. A handcuffed Jones, following his "I ain't crazy" outburst, briefly was removed from the courtroom and said nothing else when he returned.

"He's excited. He's afraid. He's scared," Yazdi said after the hearing. "We tried to stop him from talking further because he may damage his case."

Jones, 32, is charged in the Sept. 18 murder of Lisa Marie Nichols, 45, of Turnerville. The indictment says Nichols was sexually assaulted and shot to death in her mobile home, which was set afire.

The investigation of her killing led to two murder charges against Jones in Louisiana and Georgia. He is viewed by authorities as a suspect but not charged in other killings as well.

Graddick appointed veteran attorney Greg Hughes to assist Yazdi with Jones' defense.

Hughes told the judge that he expects the plea will change to not guilty by reason of insanity in motions due within a month.

If convicted of capital murder, Jones, a fugitive from sex charges in Oklahoma at the time of the Alabama slaying, could be sentenced to death or life in prison without parole.

Attorneys for the state attorney general's office requested that Jones be sent for mental testing at the Taylor Hardin Secure Medical Facility in Tuscaloosa. Graddick ordered his immediate transfer from Mobile Metro Jail, where Jones has been held since his arrest in September.

It's unclear how long Jones will be at the state prison in Tuscaloosa. Barring unexpected results, Chief Assistant Attorney General Don Valeska said the prosecution will be ready for trial Aug. 15.

Nichols' two daughters attended the arraignment.

Jones also is charged with murder in the death of Amanda Greenwell, a 16-year-old neighbor in Douglasville, Ga., whose remains were found in April 2004, and Katherine Collins, a 45-year-old New Orleans woman whose body was found in February 2004.

Graddick also granted a defense motion for a separate psychiatric evaluation of Jones, but it was unclear when or where that would take place.

Head: Interview with Rob Endres and Rick Greenwell, relatives of people alleged to have been murdered by a serial killer suspect the FBI released

because of a fingerprinting error.)

(Sect: News; Domestic)

(Byline: Greta Van Susteren)

(Guest: Rob Endres, Rick Greenwell)

(Spec: FBI; Murder)

VAN SUSTEREN: Tonight, the families of four murder victims have just learned that their loved ones would still be alive today if the FBI had not made a serious mistake. Serial killer Jeremy Bryant (ph) Jones is suspected of killing at least 20 people. Four of those murders happened after an FBI fingerprinting error set him free.Joining us from Atlanta are Rick Greenwell and Rob Endres, relatives of two of those murder victims. Rick's daughter, Amanda, was abducted and murdered in March, 2004, and Rob's wife, Patrice, was killed in April, 2004.

Rob, what do you think? Having learned this information about this FBI blunder, what's your thought?

ROB ENDRES, HUSBAND OF PATRICE ENDRES: Well, my thought is, you know, even going beyond Patrice and the other three gals, we've got a national security problem. You know, I've heard that they say that their system is porous to the effect of 5 percent. That means every 10,000 queries that we have for the FBI data base, we let 500 terrorists free, 500 rapists free. You know, that's not acceptable.

VAN SUSTEREN: Rick?

RICK GREENWELL, FATHER OF AMANDA GREENWELL: I feel the same way. I don't know what the process is when they check on prints, but maybe they need to doublecheck, triple check.

VAN SUSTEREN: Rick, how old is your daughter?

(CROSSTALK)

GREENWELL: She was 16.

VAN SUSTEREN: Rick, has the FBI said anything to you about this?

GREENWELL: No.

VAN SUSTEREN: Do you expect them to?

GREENWELL: I would think they would.

VAN SUSTEREN: How did you learn, Rick, about this fingerprinting error that set this man free, which essentially made him available to murder your daughter?

GREENWELL: Just through the local news here in Atlanta.

VAN SUSTEREN: Rob, how about you? How did you learn about this?

ENDRES: Well, Richard Sancture (ph) from WSB-AM radio called me at 6:30 on Wednesday morning, and he wanted -- you know, I just -- he woke me up and wanted to know my reaction, and it took me a minute to actually formulate one.

VAN SUSTEREN: So I take it, Rob -- and of course, we did a number of segments on your wife when she first vanished. Your -- did the FBI talk to you? Do they owe you an apology, Rob?

ENDRES: They don't owe me one, they owe Patrice one and they owe the other three women one and they owe our country one. And they need to go beyond that. They need to resolve their problems and their issues and get this system so it's zero defects.

VAN SUSTEREN: And Rob, in terms of your wife, she's -- you have how many children?

ENDRES: None together.

VAN SUSTEREN: But she has children, is that right?

ENDRES: She has one son, yes.

VAN SUSTEREN: Rob, you know, the other thing, too, is that there was some suspicion, as least, because you were -- I mean, at least, people questioned you because you're her husband and she vanished. Did you go through sort of that public scrutiny that many people go through when a spouse disappears?

ENDRES: No public scrutiny that was actually addressed to me that I was aware of. But I was interviewed by our local sheriff's office a couple of times, yes.

VAN SUSTEREN: Rick, how do you get -- how do you live with the death or the murder of a child?

GREENWELL: It's extremely hard, you know? If she wasn't murdered, you know, I'd be at home with her right now, eating dinner. There's so many things that I should be doing with her right now that I --I don't have that opportunity no more. It's very hard.

VAN SUSTEREN: Rick, how did she come in contact with him?

GREENWELL: She had walked out one evening, March 12, and went not up to the phone booth, from what, you know, we hear, and he picked her up from there.

VAN SUSTEREN: And then how soon after did you learn what had happened to her?

GREENWELL: About six weeks later.

VAN SUSTEREN: So for six weeks, you were desperately looking for your daughter.

GREENWELL: Yes, ma'am.

VAN SUSTEREN: Rob, how long were you looking for Patrice before you found out?

ENDRES: Well, I'm still looking for her. We don't have corroboration that Jeremy Jones is her rapist and murderer. But you know, up until September, when he was arrested for Lisa Nichols's murder, I was daily active in trying to put out fires and tried to look For Patrice and look for leads, and so forth.

VAN SUSTEREN: But he has -- he's admitted or confessed to murdering Patrice, right.

ENDRES: That's correct, but I think we need some corroborating evidence. I think this man, considering his lack of morals and values, I don't really know if we wanted to believe him.

VAN SUSTEREN: Rob, is the sheriff's department helping? I mean, are you satisfied with the work? I mean, I suppose you're not satisfied with the FBI's work, but at least with the sheriff's department.

ENDRES: Well, there's two sheriff's departments involved, and I think both of them have been very professional. I don't have any fault with how they've been handling the case.

VAN SUSTEREN: Rick, is there anything we can do or say for you? I mean, I'm sort of -- you know, at a loss for words for a family member who's lost a family member to murder.

GREENWELL: There's not a whole lot to say. I just hope that this never happens again to anybody else, as far as a criminal being let go like that. I guess it's -- I don't know the process how the FBI goes about checking on fingerprints. But the only thing I can say to them is, you know, Take your time.

VAN SUSTEREN: Rick, Rob, thank you both very much.

ENDRES: Thanks for having us.

VAN SUSTEREN: Coming up: This California woman disappeared more than a month ago. She stopped at a gas station and a restaurant the day she vanished. Did anyone see what happened to her?

And later: Whose face does Scott Peterson see in his prison cell every day when he wakes up and before he goes to sleep?
