Appeals set in murder of Georgia textile supervisor
West Virginia youths Woodrow Whitman and Roy Dale Chatterton face September term appeals in the Georgia Supreme Court for the slaying of Billy Copeland, a 47 year old textile mill supervisor. Whitman seeks a new trial on 20 grounds including inadmissible evidence and a state witness bailiff. Copeland was abducted near Rome last December, beaten, shot or struck with a board, and found in an abandoned house after the pair were arrested in Savannah.
