Jordan Michael Allen, who was charged with two counts of First Degree Murder, had his Jury Trial continued until January 13th, 2025. Allen was just 16 years old in April of 2022 when he killed his grandmother and brother at their home on Old Snapps Ferry Road.
He was indicted by the Greene County Grand Jury in January 2023 for the death of his 7-year-old brother Jessie Allen and 59-year-old grandmother Sherry Cole. Allen, who has claimed the killings were planned, reportedly used a hammer to kill his family members, inflicting blunt force injury to both their heads and necks. The deceased bodies were found by deputies at the home in puddles of blood next to a parked Ford Bronco, along with assorted tools, some of which were covered in blood.
Allen is now 18 and had a Pre-trial Conference last week where his Public Defense Lawyer Todd Estep requested to continue the trial. Judge John F. Dugger Jr. granted the request and the trial was continued from May of this year until January 2025.
