Reco Jones killed 4 children and Yolanda Bellamy in 1997

[Wendy in Oregon]

I would like to start by saying that I happened across this trial on Court T.V. some 14 years ago and have never forgotten it. Partly because I grew up on Rutherford St many years ago, but mostly because in my mind's eye, the picture of what Ericka saw when she peered through that mail slot has haunted me all these years. Ericka, I'm so sorry for your loss and the loss felt by all the your family members. I'm sorry also that people with no class at all have the indecency to write hurtful things for an already severely wounded family to read. For each person that posts here, there are probably hundreds who still think of you and wish you well. I pray for your entire family for continued healing and peace, until the day comes when your loved ones in Heaven greet you warmly with outstretched arms.

I personally think life in prison is a worse fate than the death penalty. Reco gets to contemplate the DECADES to yet to come, having to look over his shoulder and having to worry about bending over. His sentence won't end with his death, oh no...he gets to spend ETERNITY with satan and his demons, who don't care about Reco's "rights".

God bless all of you who are there to be supportive of the victims of this horrendous quintuple murder.

Iwuz drawn to that case more than the O.J Simpson trail. I remember rushing home every day to watch it. My heart wuz so heavy bcuz Nate III looked like my nephew. I've always tried to get a transcript or video of that trial and just TODAY I wuz able to find this info it online. I wanted the prosecutor to continue to drill Reco on dat stand until he broke down and admitted it! He wuz so close!!!! I've also wanted to see photos of the crime scene just to see what that idiot Tamika ingrained in her own memory for life after helping clean up the scene. Erica's testimony of looking thru da mail slot and seeing that carnage breaks my heart to this day! What a tragedy of her sister ever meeting such a vile person! I see his sister is STILL in denial of her brothers actions after all these years.....wutta shame to lash out at othres....

My sister was fascinated by this trial years ago. Today she is the reason why i am on the internet surfing about it. She said that trial has been on her mind all these years. She has been trying to find it again. She said this is the only trial that she could never shake. So today i been on here trying to find a video of this trial to no avail. Is it anywhere you can find it? I noticed u said u have a video of it. Have u ever tried to put it on dvd. I would love to get a copy of it. I will pay for you having to put it on dvd and buy a copy of it.

I got rid of a lot of my VHS tapes but I'm pretty sure I still have a few tapes from the trial. I will check and get back with you.

I watched the whole trial...can't believe so much time has past...I am truly sorry and disturbed by such a horrible loss and crime...I just hope that Mr Reco is getting his just desserts in prison and he's somebody's girlfriend.

Yes, I remember the trial. This loser got just what deserved. Words broke his weak sorry behind down. This guy was in his early twenties. At that age who kill babies. What real woman or demon would help this worthless man clean the murder scene. This was such a horrible crime. Reco I hope u rot in jail u dam wussy. I hope peace never find u. All ur days and nights should be restless. Ur worse than Charles Manson, Hillside Strangular & Richard Ramirez. U should be stoned.

Reco was a very insecured boy. If Reco had so many women, y did it take 4 1 woman 2 verbally beat him down? Reco was p.a.b.(punk ass bitch). He was defeated by words. The so-called player commited a cowardly act becuzz he was verbally beaten down. He might not admit, but I know he's singing the ould've; could've, should've & would've. Too late P.A.B.!
