LOUISVILLE, Ky. — As reported earlier, the man involved in a car-pedestrian accident that killed Nickerson school teacher Trey Jones and critically injured two other family members will have his case go before a grand jury in Louisville, Kentucky.
However, specifics on the case of Michael Hurley are being kept under wraps as part of normal procedure in Kentucky’s commonwealth court system. Hurley is charged with one count of murder, two counts of aggravated assault in the first degree for the injuries caused to Amy and Ava Jones, and a count of fourth-degree assault for the injuries to Creek Jones.
According to the Courts of the Grand Jury in Louisville, the case will be presented before a grand jury, but the exact date was not released. The general date was the week of Aug. 8. At that time, the case will be presented by the prosecution with the defense allowed to present any findings if it so chooses. If the grand jury decides the case should go forward, a release will be provided with specifics of pre-trial dates and other information. Until then, all is kept under wraps.
Meanwhile, both Ava and Amy Jones continue to improve at a rehab center in Louisville. The hope is both will be able to come home in the next month or so. Funds to help with the Jones’ expenses are still set up at a GoFundMe page and at Peoples Bank and Trust.
