YOUNGSTOWN - An Austintown man serving 19 years to life in prison for fatally stabbing his stepmother is scheduled to go on trial again for the crime.

A jury trial is set to begin Monday in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court for 40-year-old James Jarrell who was found guilty of murdering his stepmother at her home on Youngstown’s West Side in 2015.

An appeals court overturned the conviction after ruling that the trial court failed to allow Jarrell to introduce allegations of battered child syndrome or PTSD during his trial.

Jarrell was found guilty of murder, tampering with evidence, and receiving stolen property.

Jarrell was arrested in September of 2015 in Pittsburgh where authorities say he was driving a vehicle stolen from the crime scene where 55-year-old Tina Jarrell was stabbed to death.

Prosecutors claimed that Jarrell had run out of crack cocaine, and needed money and went to his stepmother's home to get it.

The woman's husband found her stabbed to death on the living room floor of their Wellington Avenue home in July of that year.

At the time of his sentencing, Jarrell told the judge he didn't feel he received a fair trial, saying he couldn't call any of his own witnesses.

While delivering the sentence Judge Lou D'Apolito said he felt as though it was his responsibility to separate Jarrell from civilized society.
