Jakavian Cotton was sentenced to over a century in prison for his shooting into a crowd in Cairo, Georgia. Jakavian Cotton was convicted of Voluntary Manslaughter, Five (5) Counts of Aggravated Assault, and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. Judge Claire Chason sentenced Cotton to One-Hundred and Five Years to serve in the State System. Cotton had been previously convicted as a felon based on his actions in a Home Invasion of an elderly victim who was shot and robbed. Joe Mulholland, District Attorney for the Soth Georgia Circuit, offered the following : “The Defendant shot into a crowd with no discretion as to who he was going to kill. There was a little girl, and innocent bystanders, who could have been murdered. The family of Jaylin and the State of Georgia are pleased the judge Claire Chason sentenced the Defendant according to his history and malicious acts in this case. He should spend the remainder of his life in prison as he gave Jaylin Evans a life sentence with his crime”.
