Worley Granted New Trial Over Murder Case
The Georgia Supreme Court reversed the Chatham County ruling and ordered a new trial for J W Worley and Hugh Bogga in the brutal murder of Jasper Turner. The court held the trial court erred by admitting evidence about Turner's peaceable character, a point not challenged by the defense, while a dissent argued the murder was brutal and the guilty verdict stands. Turner was hired to drive them, killed on a country road, body dumped in a well, and the car disposed of.
