EATONTON, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia prisoner was found guilty of the murder of two guards during an escape from a prison bus five years ago.
A jury deliberated about 90 minutes Monday night before finding Ricky Dubose in the June 2017 shooting of Sgt. Christopher Monica and Sgt. Curtis Billue. Now the jury must decide whether he should be sentenced to death for the murders or spend the rest of his life in prison.
