Jones’ father Richard Jones spoke from the heart in court expressing the family’s disappointment but also saying that they hoped they could all put this behind them. “When [Sarah’s mother] Elizabeth and I agreed to this plea, it was our understanding that he would be serving two years in jail for the negligence happened during the movie's film production. If had we understood that it would have been one year, we would not have agreed,” he said. “I want to be clear that we don’t want to inflict — we don’t mean to inflict more pain to Mr. Miller’s family. We understand that … can imagine it’s been quite a lot of pain for their family, but this is, in our view, about a bigger purpose. It’s about making the film industry a better, safer place. And in order to do so, we feel very strongly that this is an important element that Mr. Miller be held fully accountable for what he did.” He said he and his wife Elizabeth were “disappointed in what is being done here today.”
