Tijuana Strip Clubs: Man Who Killed Girlfriend After Jail Release Sentenced
Carter’s attorney, Debby Kirkwood, contended during the trial that her client killed the 31-year-old former stripper in the heat of passion and should be convicted of voluntary manslaughter, not murder.
Pirrello said Carter decided to kill Jones while in jail on the domestic violence charge because she wouldn’t bail him out of jail for three weeks.
The day of the killing, Carter’s family got him out of custody and he went straight to the Golden Hill apartment he shared with Jones and their children, Pirrello said.
Bradford and Jones came up with a plan to have Bradford meet the defendant on a street corner and give him a suitcase, cash and let him see his 16-month-old son, the prosecutor said.

The defendant was in the military when he met Jones, who was a stripper at a local club, Kirkwood said. Carter begged her to stop dancing and she told him she would, which became a point of contention, according to the defense attorney.
