ATLANTA (AP) — A jury took only two hours Friday to convict two men in the robbery and slaying of Kyle Moore, a popular student athlete.
Twenty-five-year-old Edward Wallace and 24-year-old Maurice Aikens both face life in prison for the May 3, 2007 slaying of Kyle Moore. Prosecutors said the 17-year-old junior and three-year starter on the football team was killed for his empty wallet and cell phone.
He was just weeks away from taking his SAT exam and was receiving recruiting letters from universities.
Aiken’s girlfriend LaDasha Eison was a lookout during the robbery. She testified that the three planned the robbery and chose a bus stop near the Lakewood/Fort McPherson MARTA station because it was a “good place” to find victims.
