CARTER STILL CIVILLY LIABLE FOR HIS MOTHER'S 2015 DEATH

Carter still civilly liable for his mother’s 2015 death

A Knoxville man who was found not guilty of murdering his mother is still liable for her death.  A Marion County Judge Monday (2/24) refused to vacate a 2018 civil judgement against Jason Carter.  Carter was suspected in the June 2015 death of Shirley Carter.  He was found not guilty in a criminal trial last year, but in 2018 a Marion County jury convicted Carter in a civil suit for wrongful death.  Carter has been ordered to pay $10 million to Shirley Carter’s estate.
