SOLEDAD - A 30-year-old convicted child molester is dead after being killed at Salinas Valley State Prison in Soledad.
Lt. Eric Moore of the prison said Donald Jones was assaulted by a group of prisoners Friday morning in the general population maximum-security yard. He was pronounced dead about 90 minutes later. Prison officers recovered a stabbing weapon at the scene.
Jones had been in the facility since 1995, serving a 20-year sentence out of Los Angeles County for sodomy on a child under 14.
Authorities said six men are suspected in Jones' death. They already are serving sentences for convictions that include second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter and kidnapping.

If he had received justice in the first place, this wouldn't have been necessary.

After 13 years, it seems likely he was killed for some reason other than the child-molestation conviction when he was 17 or 18. It must have been a really serious crime for him to get 20 years.

Probably took long to plan it so that no one person could be pointed at as the perp. After all, time is the one thing they got plenty of.........

I doubt it. 13 years? People with that kind of long-term perspective would be smart enough not to be in prison in the first place.
It’s possible, of course, but I think it’s more likely a personal score-settling or a gang-related elimination.

Parole the guy that struck the finishing blow.Sure, and invite him to live in your neighborhood.
They already are serving sentences for convictions that include second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter and kidnapping.

The victim was under the age of 14, so it was serious.
That said, I do not support this kind of “justice”.
To: SmithL
Jones had been in the facility since 1995, serving a 20-year sentence out of Los Angeles County for sodomy on a child under 14. That would have made him 16 or younger when the crime occurred.
