Father of boy fed to pigs: ‘There’s a lot I’m guilty for,’ but not murder

A man convicted in the first-degree murder of his 7-year-old son — who was tortured and abused before he was killed and fed to pigs — is now seeking to withdraw his guilty plea in the horrific case.

Michael Jones, a 46-year-old former bail bondsman in Kansas, was sentenced to life in prison with no parole for 25 years in May after pleading guilty to felony first-degree murder in the 2015 death of his son, Adrian Jones. The boy’s remains were found in November 2015 on the family’s rental property in Kansas City and prosecutors said during trial that he was tortured, abused and starved before being killed and fed to pigs.

Jones on Friday testified that his attorney persuaded him to plead guilty in the case and threatened not to defend him if he took his chances at trial, the Kansas City Star reports.

“There’s a lot I’m guilty for,” Jones told a judge. “I’m just not guilty of first-degree murder.”
