Ronn Bell, 44, and his attorney attempted to argue motions for a new trial and a post-conviction verdict of acquittal in court Thursday. The judge denied both motions.
Bell has 30 days to appeal his sentence and two years for a post-conviction. He was convicted of second-degree murder by a jury in June.
“Her murder cast me into a pit of despair, the rays of hope and faith eclipsed by rage and disbelief. Even after emerging, it is impossible to view this world the same. I find myself to be distrustful, guarded, and quicker to anger. Traits that are the opposite of how my mother raised me, and how she lived her life,” Jason Roberts, the son of Roberts-Joseph, wrote in an impact statement.
Bell was arrested days after the body of 75-year-old Roberts-Joseph was found in a car trunk on North 20th Street near Scenic Highway on July 12, 2019. According to detectives, he was a tenant of Roberts-Joseph and owed her $1,200 in rent.
Roberts-Joseph was the founder of the Baton Rouge African American Museum.
