TIFTON — Jamie Underwood and Thomas Mathis, co-defendants in the Hispanic murders of 2005, head the list of 47 cases called for criminal trials beginning March 19.

The criminal court calendar for the Superior Court of Tift County was released this week by Gary McCorvey, Chief Judge of Tift Superior Court, who said his court would not allow any negotiated pleas during trial week.

The upcoming trials for Underwood and Mathis are not for the murders of six Hispanic men, but for crimes they are alleged to have committed just prior to the Sept. 30, 2005, killing rampage.

In case 2005CR311, Underwood, Mathis and Nathan Anthony Allen are being tried for two counts of armed robbery, burglary, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. The crimes, committed on Sept. 5, 2005, appear quite similar to those Underwood and Mathis are accused of committing on Sept. 30.

According to the indictment, on Sept. 5, Underwood, Mathis and Allen entered the home of Eleodoro Cruz at the Whiddon Mill mobile home park and assaulted Cruz with a handgun and took money from him. They also took a wallet and money belonging to Alfredo Sanchez.

On July 20, 2006, Underwood, Mathis and Allen waived formal arraignment and entered a not guilty plea.

In case 2005CR312, Underwood, Mathis and Allen are being tried for armed robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. The crimes were committed on Sept., 14, 2005.

Underwood, Mathis and Allen entered a not guilty plea on July 20, 2006.

In case 2005CR313, Stacey Bernard Sims, co-defendant with Underwood and Mathis in the murders occurring on Sept. 30, 2005, will be tried with them for crimes the three men are alleged to have committed on Sept. 28, 2005. They are being tried for three counts of armed robbery, three counts of aggravated assault, two counts of burglary and two counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

According to the indictment, on Sept. 28, 2005 — two days before the six Hispanic men were murdered — Underwood, Mathis and Sims allegedly entered the home of Tereso Rodriquez on Bill Bowen Road and hit him, Juan Rodriquez and Miguel Angel Rodriquez with a baseball bat and threatened them with a gun. They allegedly took a ring and wallet with money from Juan Rodriquez.

On the same date, Underwood, Mathis and Sims, are alleged to have entered the home of Jose Juan Garcia on Cemetery Road in Omega and took a cellphone and wallet with money from Garcia and money from Juvencio Obregon after threatening them with a handgun.

On July 20, 2006, the three men waived formal arraignment and entered not guilty pleas.
