:: Holsey to be put to death for murder of sheriff’s deputy
Hannah Marney and Scott Teague
The Union-Recorder
The Georgia State Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty for Robert Wayne Holsey who was convicted of the 1995 murder of a Baldwin County Sheriff’s deputy.
Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit District Attorney Fred Bright, who prosecuted Holsey in 1999, said he was ecstatic when he heard the news.
“I felt it was justice,” Bright said. “I felt that Holsey deserved the death penalty for the murder of sheriff’s deputy Will Robinson.”
The state was prepared to try the case again if the supreme court upheld Superior Court Judge Neal W. Dickert’s ruling in May that overturned Holsey’s death penalty.
