ON more than one occasion, as he sat and listened to the horrific details of his crimes - the 12-hour abduction, the death threats, the bashings, the robbery - George Jones reclined and let out a loud yawn.
"Are we keeping you awake, Mr Jones?" Judge Penelope Wass said tersely before she pressed on, outlining not only the terrible violence that he perpetrated on the night that brought him back to jail, but the last two decades of his life, which has been a blur of crime, drug use, mental illness, shootings, bikie feuds and institutionalisation.
Jones abducted, bashed, robbed and injected a man with ice in August, 2018.
Jones, now 34, who has spent only about 12 months out of jail since 2006, will be behind bars until at least 2026 after he was jailed for a maximum of 13 years, with a non-parole period of eight years on Friday.
