Joe Davidson Music (mug shot)A man from Brighton has admitted to beating and stomping his grandmother to death and severely injuring his great-grandmother in 2004.
On Nov. 18, 2004, Joe Davidson Music, 35, said he was going to assist his seventy two year-old grandmother, Frances Nadine Geihl, into the family's home. Witnesses next heard Mrs. Geihl screaming for help and went outside and saw Music kicking and stomping her head with the steel toed boots he was wearing. A home care aide at the home to assist Music's great-grandmother attempted to help Geihl but Music flung her away. The aide then called 9-1-1.
Music's great-grandmother, Eva Aslinger, 89, attempted to help shield her daughter with her arm and begged her grandson to stop the assault, but Music stomped and kicked her too, tearing the elderly woman's skin.
Greene County Assistant Prosecutor Amy Fite says Music hid his blood-spattered boots in an outbuilding on the property, where Greene County sheriff's deputies retrieved them. The pants that Music was wearing when he was taken into custody were splattered with his grandmother's blood according to tests conducted by the Missouri State Crime Lab.
Music has been in custody at Fulton State Hospital for treatment and evaluations for the last several year. At one time attorneys for Music were contemplating using a not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect defense.
Earlier this year prosecutors offered Music 11 years in exchange for his guilty plea and it looked like he was going to accept the offer. However, not long before the case was set to go to trial earlier this year Music changed his mind and wanted a jury trial.
Greene County Circuit Court Judge Tom Mountjoy sentenced Music to four concurrent 25-year prison sentences (that means they all run at the same time) for second-degree murder, second-degree elder abuse and two counts of armed criminal action.
Because Music was previously convicted of stealing and burglary he was found to be a prior and persistent offender, therefore he will have to serve at least 85 percent of his sentence before he is eligible for parole.
