Badge and Bar: Motions hearing scheduled in murder case
Victor Alfonso Martinez
Victor Alfonso Martinez
Attorneys for a man accused of malice murder in the death of a young child have filed a motion in Hall County Superior Court saying the charges violate their client’s right to not be subject to double jeopardy. Victor Alfonso Martinez, 31, had previously been implicated in a newborn baby’s traumatic injuries caused by shaking. Edwin Ledesma, 6, died in March, and Martinez was indicted on a charge of malice murder in September stemming from the death.
