Attorneys for Lynitra Ross will spend the next two weeks trying to convince a Hall County jury that the evidence state prosecutors have against her doesn’t warrant a murder conviction. Hall County district attorneys are seeking a murder conviction against Ross of Austell for her alleged role in the death of Richard Schoeck of Snellville. Schoeck was found dead in Belton Bridge Park on Valentine’s Day 2010.
