The Man Wrongfully Convicted to Death Row

True Crime Arizona

Barry Jones was convicted of first degree murder for the death of 4-year-old Rachel Gray in 1994, and sentenced to death. But as the decades went on, several attorneys and officials found issues with how the case legally played out. In 2023, the AG’s office granted Barry Jones a plea deal and said he did not cause the girl’s injuries, but should have sought out medical care for her. He walked out of death row after 29 years, with the unexpected support of the victim’s sister.
