Bullard Man Sentenced to 16 Years in Prison After Pleading Guilty to Tampering with a Human Corpse

114th District Court Judge Austin Reeve Jackson sentenced 60-year-old Bullard man, Mr. Charles Lennon, II, to a prison term of sixteen years after Lennon pled guilty to the felony offense of tampering with a human corpse. Mr. Lennon had been facing a maximum sentence of twenty years confinement before entering into the plea agreement with the Smith County District Attorney’s Office. 

Mr. Lennon was charged with this offense because of his involvement in attempting to conceal the body of 31-year-old Rachel Lynn Jackson, a young woman his son, Charles Lennon, III, violently murdered. In April 2019, the younger Mr. Lennon entered a plea of “guilty” to the murder and was sentenced to life in prison, also in the 114th District Court.
