Demetris Ross and Brandon Williams have been found guilty of 15 total charges related to the 2022 murder of 60-year-old Thomas Arnold at the Atlanta beltline.

“I believe in all my heart, with all my heart, with all my heart, with all my heart, with all my heart, with all my heart,” said the hysterical Valerie Ross. “My son, Demetrice Ross, is innocent.”

Judge Craig Schwar ruled that they brought both of them back to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

“It's never a happy day in this room,” he said before elaborating on the difficulties at the current murder trial. “This case really affected me. It's cruel and evil for two words to come to mind. That's what we have in this case. There's no reason to be here.”
Schwar called the murderer “coldly calculated” and described the murderer as an example of prisoners who were convicted of fear of criminals whose society would never show positive change after reform programs.
