A Fulton County jury recently found Anthony Wilder not guilty on all counts in the killings of two College Park women in 2009.

Wilder, indicted for murder, armed robbery and burglary, faced a life-without-parole sentence if he had been convicted, his lawyer, Kenneth Sheppard of Smyrna, said. Wilder and three others were charged with the killings of Lanaetria Butler and Karida Winkler inside their apartment on Godby Road. Fulton prosecutors have yet to try the other co-defendants, including Christopher Varner, who faces a death penalty trial.
