Jones claims that Leilani Simon was indicted by the grand jury for one count of malice murder, two counts of felony murder, and one count of concealing another person's death. Leilani, 22, is also accused of lying to the police on 14 counts and reporting a false crime, per reports from New York Post. This week, Billie Jo Howell, Quinton's grandmother, was arrested on what looked to be a separate contempt of court case unrelated to the toddler's death. She was checked into the county jail on Monday, December 12, according to records from the Chatham County Sheriff's Office.
