A woman who ordered her son and his girlfriend to kill a Naperville man and helped hide his body has been found guilty of first-degree murder by a DuPage County jury.
The verdict against Candice Jones, 43, formerly of Chicago, was delivered after 90 minutes of deliberations by jurors, who also convicted her of armed robbery, according to the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office. Jones has been held in the county jail since Feb. 9, 2019, when she was arrested and charged in the death of Naperville resident Michael Armendariz, who was last seen Jan. 14, 2018.
Prosecutors said the crime was allegedly plotted by Collins and Jones at the instigation of Jones, who reportedly told her son, “you’re going to do this.” The murder weapon and other evidence was reportedly recovered from Jones’ home, according to reports. Jones also threatened Green, telling her she would kill her and her mother if Green told anyone about the killing, reports said.
