Send us a text

In August 1999, 14-year-old Ashley Jones snuck her 16-year-old boyfriend Geramie Hart into her grandparents' Birmingham, Alabama home. The teens planned to murder everyone in the home so they could run away together. They brutally murdered Ashley's grandfather Deroy Nalls and her aunt Millie Nalls. Then, they attempted to murder her grandmother Mary Nalls and little sister Mary Jones. Both teens had a traumatic past -- but the crime's horrible details shock the courtroom.
