Richard Brian Sosebee, left, talks with attorney Larry Duttweiler Monday morning in Hall County Magistrate Court during his committal hearing for charges of aggravated battery and armed robbery. Two other men are also charged in the same armed robbery that cost a man his eye, according to police.
A bullet entering the victim’s eye during an alleged drug deal exploded and was lodged in his head, according to a Gainesville Police investigator. Johnathan William Owens, 27, of Gillsville, and Richard Brian Sosebee, 41, of Lula, appeared in Magistrate Court Monday to answer to charges of aggravated battery and armed robbery. A third co-defendant, Evan Edsel Dorsey, 26, of Buford, had his case continued to a later date.
