A Gainesville man was acquitted Tuesday by a Hall County jury in a misdemeanor theft by shoplifting case. Billy Bromell, 55, was charged in November with theft in connection with allegedly taking an alternator from Complete Auto Parts on Atlanta Highway. But what astonished his attorney, Senior Public Defender Travis Williams, was how the case landed on a felony case docket in Hall County Superior Court.
