Ledlow Family Hopes for Justice This Month

The murder trial of Jason Dewayne Green is expected to begin October 15th in Franklin County. Green is charged with the shooting death of Shay Ledlow with whom he shared a home. Green initially told officers that Shay had committed suicide, but forensics failed to bear that out. He was free on 400K bail when he and his father were arrested for illegal activity at their salvage business.

His bond revoked, Green has remained incarcerated until recently when he was allowed to leave jail on house arrest. Shay Ledlow's family has been understandably upset by Green's release, and hope to see Green convicted for the murder. From Shay's cousin:

I HOPE HE GETS LIFE WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE! SHAY WAS A VERY OUTGOING, FUN TO BE AROUND, COULD ALWAYS MAKE YOU LAUGH PERSON. ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP A FRIEND. SHE WAS A LIFE OF OUR FAMILY GATHERINGS. I MISS MY COUSIN, SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND. I GO TALK WITH HER AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK, I MADE A PROMISE TO HER THAT I WOULD FIGHT TILL THE END TO SEE THAT JUSTICE IS DONE. I PLAN TO BE SITTING ON THE FRONT ROW TO STARE THIS DEVIL IN THE EYE ON COURT DAY. I HOPE THAT EACH TIME HE CLOSES HIS EYES THAT HE SEES HER SMILING FACE AND IT TORMENTS THE HELL OUT OF HIM. THANKS FOR ASKING ABOUT MY SWEET SHAY, SHE WAS AN ANGEL.

Since Green has no previous violent record, the strongest sentence that could be expected for Felony Murder would be Life With the Possibility of Parole. Green's attorney is Billy Underwood of Colbert County.
