She later claimed that her mother tried to hurt her.
Inell was pronounced dead at the scene and Jones was immediately taken into custody, the release stated.The younger Jones was enrolled in a dentistry program at a community college in New York after taking time off from Barnard College,. He said his client had attended a private school in Bergen County and studied dentistry at Barnard College to appease her mother, who pushed her to become a doctor.
