“Ashley Jones was found murdered in her apartment in 1986, but police couldn’t seem to find any leads. Police were baffled. The case.. went cold. In 2005, a deputee at the Cantalope County Sheriff's Department realized that one of the napkins in the break room was actually a signed witness statement claiming to have seen Bob Smith commit the murder. This witness statement came just days after the killing, but had never been followed up on. Police tracked down the witness, and Bob Smith, now aged 65, was arrested and, accepting a plea deal, was found guilty in January 2007. In 2024, he was released on parole after serving just 17 years of his 20-year sentence. Ashley Jones’s family.. were outraged.. In response, the governor of Mississippi passed ‘Ashley’s Law,’ requiring all prisoners in the state convicted of a felony to serve the maximum sentence possible without the possibility of parole.”
