The prosecution in Paul Bennett’s case wants the jury to hear about an incident in which he is accused of stealing a bar sign, but the judge on Wednesday pushed her decision off until trial. Hall County Superior Court Judge Kathlene Gosselin will decide after opening arguments whether to permit the evidence in the Nov. 4 trial. Bennett, 45, of Cumming is charged with eight counts of homicide by vessel in a June 18, 2012, Lake Lanier accident that killed Buford boys Jake Prince, 9, and Griffin Prince, 13.
