A Cook County jury on Friday found a Chicago man guilty of murdering the pregnant mother of his child, as well as the baby, who was delivered alive but lived only for days.of Stacey Jones, a Cook County probation officer who was eight months pregnant, and the death of the infant, known as Baby Boy Harrison.The jury heard testimony throughout the week at the Leighton Criminal Court Building after attorneys delivered opening arguments on Tuesday.
In the months leading up to her death on Oct 13, 2020, Jones, 35, told family and friends that the father of her unborn child threatened her and told her he didn’t want more children, prosecutors argued. When Jones did not get an abortion, Deering hatched a plan to kill her and the child, they said during opening arguments.“Stacey Jones did not live to see the birth of her baby,” Assistant State’s Attorney Michelle Papa told jurors earlier this week.
But Deering’s attorney pointed the finger at Blackmond, arguing she was a romantic rival of Jones. He argued no physical evidence connected Deering to the crime scene. Both Blackmond and Jones met Deering through the youth football program at Ogden Park in Englewood, where their sons played, prosecutors said. Jones’ uncle Bryant Jones sobbed through his testimony, telling the jury he introduced Jones to Deering after hearing about the football program and suggesting her boys get involved.
