A 28-year-old man rejected a plea offer of 30 years in Baltimore City Circuit Courts on June 7.
Anthony Jones, 28, is charged with involuntary manslaughter and firearm use in a felony violent crime in connection to an incident on Jan. 24. He was represented by Gil S. Amaral.
In reception court before Judge Melissa K. Copeland, the prosecutor offered Jones, 10 years, suspending all but five years with five years of supervised probation for involuntary manslaughter and a consecutive sentence of 20 years, suspending all but five years for firearm use in a felony violent crime. Jones rejected the offer.
After the attorneys negotiated a trial date, Judge Copeland scheduled Jones’ three-day trial to begin on Aug. 20 before Judge Althea M. Handy.
