Judge Shields Victim Records in Murder Case

A judge in Lucas County has imposed a protective order concerning children's services records related to Darnell Jones, who faces charges including rape, murder, and kidnapping. Jones is accused of killing his 13-year-old daughter, Kei'Mani Latigue, by dragging her to a vacant house.

The court ruled that the sensitive records, containing private details of victims and witnesses, will be marked "council only." This measure aims to balance Jones' right to prepare his defense with the safeguarding of personal information for all parties involved.

Children services confirmed two visits to Kei'Mani's home in December and March prior to her death due to reported abuse concerns, though she was never removed from her home. Jones has pleaded not guilty, and faces the death penalty if convicted.
