Mother-in-law’s murder conviction upheld

By Bill Rankin

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday upheld the murder conviction against Joanna Hayes, who killed her daughter-in-law in a Target parking lot in Snellville in April 2009.

Hayes, wearing a wig and fake mustache, fatally shot 26-year-old Heather Strube in the head just after Strube uttered “help” to a passing motorist. Hayes’ son and Strube were separated and getting a divorce at the time of the killing. The state Supreme Court found sufficient evidence to support Hayes’ conviction.
