Timothy Jones, Sr testifies in son's trial

The father of Timothy Jones Junior testified on his son's behalf for hours on Wednesday afternoon

[lindadobberstein]

Why was that man allowed custody of those innocent children! Or society fails so miserably at protecting these innocent souls!

[susansehorn]

This entire Family had issues. If not one crutch to get through life 2 or 3 ! Tim has a Degree. Tim will go far in Life. Tim murdered his children because he couldn't get far in Life.
Daddy blames it on Mommy because she's schrzophrenic... Timmy's defense is he is schizophrenic. No. Timmy was supposed to go far in life, until he murdered his babies, NOW, he's schizophrenic.
Sorry it doesn't work that way...

Guilty.

Man, the parallel between Watts case and this one is uncanny. The father says he won't talk bad about Amber but continues to do so. And the disrespect he showed the court with foul language and rambling... what a waste of time. The babysitter got to me. She tried saving the kids but once again CPS does nothing.

The reporter looks and sounds like he is 14 years old.

Wiping tears away is too late. These children were murdered by his son. This whole family is degenerate. No sympathy. These children's mother was broken down by Tim & family because she was uneducated and basically a baby making machine. He would have killed her too sooner than later. That's the way they (starting from grandma on down). She assumed full control & beat those that crossed her... No matter what their age was. Hell on Earth for this family of deplorables.

What he has done to these children is one of the worse cases I’ve ever heard. I cried all night.

[WildIrishRose]

I was less than impressed with the testimony of TJJ’s dad. He was allowed to ramble on entirely too much and really came across a bit arrogant and disrespectful of the court with some of his wording and phrases. Jmo. I don’t think he helped his son’s defense at all.

[fliora]

but never once did anyone ever tell this man to get some help

What a proud father. Raising a son to obviously not take accountability, blaming the mother what a sick pos father he is. I have fallen out with my oldest boy once or twice and never have I gone without talking to him more then q couple.of days, I'm not a perfect mom and I don't have perfect kids, but while I am alive they will forever till my dying day have my full support, love and guidance to help them as they need it through their lives, but parental intervention and that love and understanding sometimes could be the underlying decision between doing the right and or wrong thing. It starts with us, and once they are adults there is no more excuses.

Personally I think Tim jr got his father's personality and demeanor not his mother's...

[cindysturgill]

This guy is not mentally ill he was using spice and alcohol. Sounds to me like neither parent wanted these sweet babies. He knew right from wrong and I would love to slap that puckered lip look off his face!👹

[louisep]

He knew what his son was like :((( why didn't he step in earlier if he knew he was not capable to look after 5 children? Sweeping it under the carpet and hiding his head in the sand like that (you know)

[insertnamehere]

...if he was so crazy why didnt u take the kids?!?!

[gibsongirl]

The kid reporting..said the grandchild..um it was 5! ?

[luznegron]

Omg!!! All these ppl, knew these ANGELS we're not in good
Didn't do SHIIIT!!

[mcmacts]

EVERYONE INVOLVED FAILED THESE CHILDREN

[chellesmiddie]

This is horrible for both sides of the family These babies where failed by the system., Family, Friends, Neighbors...I hear all these people saying he was crazy....I tell you who's crazy Are the people who gave him custody in the first dag place & family, friends, neighbors, Shame on you for not getting involved in these childrens lifes I guess his father figures he has nothing more to lose so he saids what ever he damn well pleases, People will hate your son & will hate you too, My God teaches me that I have to forgive & Love Thank you Jesus that we can Love, & Forgive from a distance, Pray Push Til Something Happens I was following the Chris Watts story I looked back on comments I made towards Chris Watts & family I didn't like what I was turning into I wasn't raised to hate...I said some really mean things about Cindy, Chris, NK, ....Who in the Hell am I to judge I'm I like The way that all of this played out here to tell you one thing people this world is in a terrible mess....& If we don't start loving & forgiving each other this is what happens Okay for instance it was said that Amber slept around on Timmy...He should've forgave her & none of this wouldve happened? We are constantly blaming someone. & I know for certain that man is sick anyone that would have there little ones doing situps kneebends & God only knows what else....Blame the Devil
.. forgive & Love from a Leviathan has been unleashed

Listening to the phone conversation during the penalty hearings between this father and other family members with Jr. while he was in jail turned my stomach. Jr kills all five of his children and you people are discussing his defense, blaming the children's mother, and laughing like it's all a joke. I love my kids but I don't think I could defend them killing my grandchildren. I just couldn't live with that.

[casinolover]

I'll be losing my mind with five kids too😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[nancysimmons]

If they didn't want the kids but why didn't they call the police and get them in a safe. Place
