The murder trial of Oral Jett in Roane County could possibly begin in June, but it
could be scheduled as late as August, according to the Roane County Circuit Clerk's
office. Charged with Jett's murder is Calhoun resident Roger Jones of Chloe.
Jett was found beaten to death along a country road near Amma on January 4.
Jones' girlfriend Jamie Jarvis of Chloe, who has been charged with the same
offenses as Jones, was released on $10,000 bond on May 3, according to the Circuit
Clerk's office.
Jones has also plead guilty to the murder of John Moorehead of Arnoldsburg Road,
Spencer. Moorehead's body was discovered in his burning mobile home on
December 29. 2002.
Those charges are apparently pending.
