Jones v. State

HAWKINS, Presiding Justice,

for the Court:

Charles Jones was indicted by the Monroe County grand jury for a February 26, 1987, sale of four ounces of marijuana. At trial on April 20, 1988, he was found guilty and sentenced by the circuit court to 20 years imprisonment, with five years suspended, and ordered to pay a fine of $50,-000 and all court costs prior to his release.
