A more than two year old homicide Radcliff case came to a resolution on Friday.
Emily Jo Green, 46, entered a guilty but mentally ill plea to the 2021 murder of Jennifer Fox in the Hardin Circuit courtroom of Judge John Simcoe.
As part of the Commonwealth’s offer, Green agreed to plead guilty but mentally ill for a 30-year sentence. Green will be eligible for parole after serving 20 years of the sentence, but Simcoe informed her that parole was not guaranteed.
According to court records, Green was responsible for the killing of Fox on November 14, 2021, when she produced a handgun, approached Fox and shot her in the back and head.
At the time of Green’s arrest, Radcliff Police Chief Jeff Cross said she was living with Fox and another woman in a Jeffrey Drive home when the killing occurred.
According to Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Chris McCrary, Green said the two were having an argument prior to the shooting. Fox, who was 52, was dead by the time police arrived.
Green’s trial was scheduled for this month.
A sentencing hearing is set for Green at 1:15 p.m. March 26, and McCrary said that Fox’s family will be coming in from Iowa to speak at the hearing, and that they have approved of the plea agreement.
She is currently being held in lieu of a $1 million cash bond at the Hardin County Detention Center.
