Brandon Lay, 34, was shot to death in his vehicle at the intersection of Charlie Hall Road and Old Hog Mountain Road in Winder, Georgia, on October 17, 2015. Authorities say the shooting followed a confrontation with his uncle by marriage, Paul Hamilton, who reportedly believed Lay had been stealing from his property. Hamilton was arrested and charged with felony murder, murder, and three counts of aggravated assault.

Hamilton was tried and, in October 2018, convicted by a jury of felony murder and aggravated assault and sentenced to life in prison. On the day of sentencing the trial judge overturned the jury verdict, granted Hamilton a new trial and said the evidence did not sufficiently support the guilty verdict. The state appealed and in September 2019 the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed the judge’s decision that Hamilton was entitled to a new trial.

Does anyone have additional information about the retrial or how the case was ultimately resolved?
