Atlanta Area Court Faces Dilemma Over Jury Selection in High-Profile Apalachee High School Shooting Case

• Share on:

Barrow County residents will not serve on the jury for Colin Gray, the father of the Apalachee High School shooting suspect, as Judge Nicholas Primm considers moving the trial or importing a jury from another county due to concerns about impartiality. Gray faces 29 charges, including two counts of second-degree murder, after allegedly allowing his son to possess a firearm. The judge's decision will weigh factors such as juror hardship, witness accessibility, and the potential impact on the trial's logistics, with suggestions made to either sequester jurors or relocate the entire trial to a less media-saturated area.
