Vannoy Given Two Years Probation in Hartsell Broce Case
George Norman Vannoy, a Shady Spring used car dealer, was granted two years probation after a 12 month jail sentence for involuntary manslaughter in the July 10 1959 killing of Charles Hartsell Broce at a Cool Ridge tavern. The court cited medical reports showing weight loss and poor health, and defense attorney Thornhill said Vannoy already endured punishment from the trial and civil case.
