Man found guilty for killing Cobb County hotel manager in 2000
A Cobb County jury has returned a guilty verdict in a cold case from more than a decade ago, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Rodney Castlin was gunned down inside a Cobb County hotel by one of three gunmen, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previoulsy reported.
It took a decade for police to arrest a suspect in the case.
Police said they found a finger print belonging to James Randolph on the front desk of the hotel. That finger print led to his arrest in the case, charging him with killing Castlin, according to Channel 2.
Randolph’s attorney tried to convince the jury that the finger print evidence was unreliable.
The jury started deliberating the case just before lunchtime. Shorly before 6 p.m. the jury returned a guilty verdict on all counts, according to Channel 2.
