It’s been almost a decade since a Northern Arizona University student shot and killed a classmate and injured three others after a fight broke out and spilled onto campus.Colin Brough, a 20-year-old junior, died.Just this week, the shooter, Steven Jones, was released from the Arizona Department of Corrections.Brough’s aunt, Andrea Jernegan, told ABC15 she believes the justice system failed in this case.
Jones testified in court that he feared for his life and acted in self-defense that night after getting punched. But the prosecutor says he returned to his car, grabbed his gun and deliberately shot the students.He was initially tried for first-degree murder in 2017, which would have meant a minimum 25 years in prison if he were found guilty. But a jury couldn’t reach a consensus.A second trial was scheduled to begin in 2020 with Jones facing a reduced charge of second-degree murder.
