“It really breaks my heart that he was able to do this under the radar'
In February, Richard and Elizabeth Jones marked a grim anniversary: It had been six years since their daughter was killed on a film set.
Authorities said they did not have permission to be on the tracks. The film’s director, Randall Miller, served half of a two-year prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter and was released in 2016. The tragedy sparked an international campaign, led by the Jones family, to promote greater safety on sets.
Authorities in Georgia, a major hub for filming, contend that Miller violated the terms of his probation and are seeking a warrant for his arrest. In 2015, a judge stipulated that Miller was prohibited from serving as a director, first assistant director or supervisor with responsibility for safety in any film production during the 10-year probation period. A hearing date has not been set.
“It really breaks my heart that he was able to do this under the radar,” said Joyce Gilliard, a hairstylist who worked with Jones and who was also injured in the 2014 accident. She was left with post-traumatic stress disorder and pain after reconstructive surgery necessary to fix her broken arm.
