Grandmother calls killer ‘selfish’

Posted

Everything about convicted child killer Tim Jones, Jr., is “me, me, me.”

With those words, 11th Circuit Solicitor Rick Hubbard asked 12 jurors to return a verdict of death, not life in prison without parole.

“His grandmother said Tim Jones is a selfish man,” Hubbard told the jury.

“His demand is to be the center of attention. You heard his daddy say he was acting like a baby.”

“This is a man who says ‘I am Mr. Christian. I will not share with anyone... or you will feel my wrath.’”

“He chose to self medicate. He chose Spice (synthetic marijuana). His brother... said ‘no, no, no. Don’t go down that road.’ He married Spice, and every child in that house felt it.”

Hubbard re-enacted how Jones grabbed 6-year-old Nahtahn after the child broke his brother’s train set, picked him up by his throat, slammed him against a wall in the family’s home, then dropped him like a rag doll.

“He singled out Nahtahn from May to August. His life was a living hell.”

On the phone with his mother Amber Kyzer the night of the murders, Nahtahn pleaded, “Mommy, I didn’t mean to.”

Nahtahn was making a cry for help, Hubbard said, [but] “met white, hot rage.

“That night when he brutally murdered his children... what is his 1st thought? ‘My life is over. Tim, you’re f**ked.’

“He deliberated... he is a one man jury... he became the executioner.

“Elias was on his side.

He said ‘Daddy, take me with you.’ He squeezed that neck so hard he broke that hyoid bone.”

With Merah, “he had to chase her down and she said ‘no, no, no,’” Hubbard said.

“She tried to find the daddy inside that beast and said, ‘Daddy, I love you.’”

“They wanted nothing more than to be loved,” Hubbard said, showing a picture of the children.

“This is a beautiful family. That man couldn’t see that.

“He turned it into this — black bags,” Hubbard said showing the jury a picture of the black garbage bags the children were found in, in early September.

“This is a guy who had gifts... he had 5 beautiful treasurers,” said Hubbard.

His “is a pattern of choices and he chose what he is today — a murderer.”
