Demitri Milsap was scolded by Defendant Deshaun Jones using boiling hot water in the bath tub. Defendant Jones forced Milsap into the hot tub and would not let him out.
His co-defendant, Nathan Jones, got fifteen (15) years MDOC, with ten (10) years to serve and five (5) years post release supervision, and part of Nathan Jones’ agreement was that he testify truthfully against Deshaun Jones.
