Tavaris Jackson, 35, of Escanaba, was convicted by a Delta County jury of the 2023 murder of Harley Corwin, 22, of Escanaba, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Jackson was found guilty of one count of First-Degree Murder, a potential life sentence offense, one count of Assault of a Pregnant Individual Intentionally Causing Miscarriage/Stillbirth, a potential life sentence offense, and one count of Felony Firearm, a 2-year felony.
Jackson murdered Corwin on July 3, 2023. Corwin was pregnant at the time of her death. Her remains were discovered on July 8, 2023, in a field in Ford River Township.
“While no outcome can undo this devastating loss, I am grateful to the prosecutors who helped secure long-awaited justice in this tragic case,” said Attorney General Nessel. “I hope this verdict provides a sense of closure for Harley’s family.”
The charges were initially filed by the Delta County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. In August 2023, the Department of Attorney General was appointed to prosecute the case.
Jackson will be sentenced on June 2 at 1:30 p.m. in the 47th Circuit Court in Delta County.
