Trial Begins for Three in Coleman Murder

A retrial has commenced for three men accused of murdering Bradley Coleman, a former high school football coach, during an attempted carjacking at a Peachtree Corners gas station in 2022. The prosecution claims Josiah Hughley shot Coleman in the head while he was putting air in his tires, with David Booker and Miles Collins allegedly aiding in the crime. The first trial ended in a mistrial due to improper comments made by the prosecutor, which led to questions about the validity of the evidence presented. During the retrial, a forensic expert testified that DNA linked to Hughley was found on a mask at the crime scene, and cell phone data connected the suspects to the location of the incident. The defense argues that the evidence is circumstantial and insufficient for a conviction, while the prosecution plans to introduce further evidence, including social media posts and additional witness testimonies. Coleman's family continues to seek justice, emphasizing the loss of a dedicated father and community member.
