A jury will reconvene this morning to continue deliberating in the trial of Paul J. Bennett, a boater accused in the deaths of two Buford boys on Lake Lanier. Bennett, 45, has been in Hall County Superior Court in Gainesville since Nov. 4 to stand trial on homicide charges in the June 18, 2012, incident, where his fishing boat collided with a pontoon carrying 13 people — four adults and nine children. Jake Prince, 9, and Griffin Prince, 13, were killed on impact.
