Chapter 1: What is the Jesika Jones case about?
True Story Media. Hello, it's Andrea. Today we've got part three of our series on the Jessica Jones case out of Texas. This is the second half of my conversation with Jessica's ex-husband, Derek. The details of this case are just astounding, and I'm so appreciative of Derek for coming on to share his experiences.
Being able to talk to other people who have personal experience with this really remains one of the most rewarding parts of my job.

And that's when I really got in touch with Detective Weber, who I will say, first off, he's a godsend. Love that man to death. He contacted me the next day after all this came out. And he's telling me, you know, hey, watch for these types. This is the type of behaviors they'll do. You know, this is what she said and everything. And I'm still still in a shock at this point.
I'm like, you know, did this really happen? Like I was still my mind was blown.

Chapter 2: How did Derek Jones react to Jesika's actions?
Chapter 3: What challenges did Derek face with the DA's office?
or your bio dad he's like we it's it was standardized it's like standardized questioning we have to you know we it's like we're talking to her and we're asking her you know where if they try to ask her who you are to her that she sees you as dad and i'm like okay but when she tells you she don't know don't keep going he's like well after we said that name and she's like oh okay we dropped it there well that was too far
After we'd already said the thing, we didn't say anything else.
That is wild. I was like, the moment we got home after that, she's like, hey, we looked this person up on Facebook. I want to see what they look like. I'm like, so, yeah, you did open up a whole rabbit hole.
Right. Because, of course, it's like, of course, they're going to be curious. Yeah.
And I'm like, so and come to find out we can't even find this guy. And I'm like, so I had to break it to her that, you know, that may not even be the person. They're not 100 percent certain. But that came from her egg donor because I don't refer to her as their mother anymore. I tell everybody that's their egg donor. She doesn't when she did what she did. She lost the title being called a mother.
She's an egg donor. So I was frustrated that.
So how so you go you go through the sentencing hearing. And I mean, it sounds like at this point. You're very worried that she's going to get off with probation because the D.A. has basically been telling you that this might end with probation.
I was worried after she broke her bond the second time and moved it to a felony. So I knew she had this on her. I just found out that. We was originally supposed to have an earlier sentencing date, but she got her attorney to get with the judge to ask for a continuance because she had a heart something something scan that she needed to go to. It was on that day. So the judge, you know.
granted it because hey if she really does have a medical issue let's get it taken care of whatever that day comes for which i remember that day vividly because that was her birthday it was june 25th and come to find out she didn't go to that heart doctor appointment she told her family that the heart doctor or the person that was supposed to do the scan had called in sick
