December 12, 2018 Gary Butts
At the Anderson County Courthouse Wednesday afternoon, Jesse Osborne, now 16, pleaded guilty to 2 counts of murder and 3 attempted murders in Townville in 2016. The shootings started with the murder of his father, Jeffrey Osborne, at their home and then spread to outside Townville Elementary School. The judge today told the teenager that he might be sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole. Sentencing will be later, perhaps by mid next year.
