Appeals courts sides with condemned Akron killer An Akron man on Ohio’s death row should get a hearing on claims his taxpayer-funded attorneys and defense experts failed to properly investigate his troubled childhood, an appeals court ruled Wednesday. New public defenders representing inmate Phillip Jones in his post-conviction appeals contend he was denied a fair sentencing hearing during his trial in late 2007 and early 2008. They argue that Jones’ trial attorneys failed to hire a mitigation investigator until after the trial began and that another court-appointed expert spent scant time interviewing family members about the defendant’s background.
