Closing arguments set for Monday in Ripley County murder trial

VERSAILLES, IN — Closing arguments will take place Monday in the Kristina Jones murder case in Ripley Circuit Court.

37-year-old Jordan Knudson (pictured) is accused of shooting Jones multiple times at a Holton area residence in January 2021.

The trial began early last week after several delays caused by a series of legal filings in the case.

Ripley County Prosecutor Ric Hertel says more than 20 witnesses took the stand to testify on behalf of the State.

If he’s convicted, Knudson faces 45 to 65 years in prison.
