DETAILS: Jury finds Coley McCraney guilty in Beasley, Hawlett murder trial
The charges were as follows: two counts of capital murder- shooting into an occupied vehicle, capital murder of two or more people, and capital murder during the course of another felony .McCraney was arrested in 2019 and charged with the murders of 17-year-old Dothan teens J.B. Beasley and Tracie Hawlett two decades earlier. The teens’ bodies were found in 1999. Their deaths remained part of a high profile cold case for years until DNA evidence was revealed that implicated McCraney.
“Don’t let the state hypnotize you into bringing back a guilty verdict,” Defense attorney David Harrison said.Attorney General Steve Marshall said McCraney’s testimony that he knew Beasley and gave the girls directions did not make sense. He pointed to the previous testimony of two witnesses who said they had given the girls directions.
