The decision to delay the sentencing of convicted UVa gunman Christopher Darnell Jones Jr. will likely delay, again, the release of a taxpayer-funded review of the case.

Next month’s scheduled sentencing of the former University of Virginia student who shot and killed three schoolmates and injured two others in 2022 has been pushed back more than nine months.
The move will likely delay, again, the publication of a $1.5 million, taxpayer-funded report detailing what exactly happened the night of Nov. 13, 2022, that so far the university has refused to release to the public.
The Daily Progress is suing UVa to release the report on the grounds that it violated Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act.
“It appears that this will delay the report another nine and a half months,” Michael Haggard, an attorney for three of the dead’s families, told The Daily Progress. “The victims are victimized over and over again.”
