It looks like we might finally get some movement in the Jon Jones hit-and-run case in the near future.
“Bones” Jones’ legal team could be positioning him for a plea deal for his felony hit-and-run case in the Bernalillo County Second Judicial District Court.
Jones’ case was transferred from Metropolitan Court in Albuquerque, New Mexico to Second Judicial District Court and assigned to judge Charles Brown this week. The judicial assignment reads that the case is coming to Brown’s court “on the stipulation of the parties for the entry of a pre-indictment plea.”
Jones will not have to give a plea unless he is indicted by a grand jury. The case has not yet gone to a grand jury, and the fact that it is now in the Second Judicial District Court means it has bypassed that part.
A message left for Jon Jones’ lawyer, Vincent Ward, was not returned on Thursday.
