Three Washington Co. (Georgia) deputies charged with murder in Tasing death

Three Washington County deputies turned themselves in Wednesday morning after being indicted on charges of felony murder in the Tasing death of 58-year old Eurie Martin.

On Tuesday, a grand jury listened to hours of interviews from investigators and were presented with body camera video from the day that Martin was Tased.

Cell phone video sent to us by a viewer in July shows the moment that Deputies Michael Howell, Henry Copeland, and Rhett Scott were spotted on Deepstep Road with Mr. Martin. One of them Tases him and he falls to the ground.

Hayward says after the grand jury was presented with all the evidence they only deliberated for a few minutes before coming to a conclusion.
