Early-release request rejected

WARREN — One of two female accomplices in a 2005 double murder in Newton Township has been turned down for early release after serving two years of her five-year sentence.

Jazzmine McIver, 23, formerly of Roberts Street, Warren, sought early release from the Trumbull Correctional Camp in Leavittsburg, but Judge Andrew D. Logan of Trumbull County Common Pleas Court rejected the request.

McIver testified that she drove Jermaine McKinney of Youngstown from the Newton Township home of Wanda Rollyson after McKinney had killed Rollyson and her daughter, Rebecca Cliburn.

She said she believed McKinney was going to the house to get money and was surprised when McKinney emerged from the home covered in blood and saying that he had killed the two women.

McIver began serving her prison term on Dec. 22, 2006, but received credit for 357 days served in the Trumbull County Jail. She was convicted of single counts of complicity to aggravated robbery, complicity to aggravated burglary and complicity to aggravated kidnapping.

Her parole date is Dec. 28, 2010.

Judge Logan rejected the request without a hearing and without comment.
