Ex-boyfriend found guilty of murder after trial that lasted more than 8 years
SUMMARY: After eight years, justice has finally been served for Amalia Alexander, a certified nursing assistant murdered in 2016. Key suspect Jarvis Hickerson, her ex-boyfriend, was found guilty of capital murder, as prosecutors argued he killed her to prevent her from testifying against him in a domestic violence case. Amalia’s body was discovered in a remote field months after her disappearance. During the trial, compelling evidence included video of Hickerson loading a large object into his truck the night she vanished. Despite his disruptive behavior in court, Hickerson will serve life in prison, providing closure for Amalia’s grieving family.
