The Georgia Supreme Court has upheld a lower court’s decision to dismiss a felony vehicular homicide charge against a motorist who struck and killed a popular Athens-Clarke County school crossing guard seven years ago.
The high court announced Monday that it agreed with both a Clarke County Superior Court judge and the Georgia Court of Appeals that the indictment charging a Danielsville man with the March 2007 death of Trina Lenette Heard had not been filed in time.
