The case against a Cornelia woman charged with vehicular homicide may soon be bound over to a Hall County Grand Jury.
Hall County District Attorney Lee Darragh says the case against Ruby Marshall has been assigned to an assistant district attorney. Once the ADA’s investigation is complete Darragh says his office will present the case to grand jurors.
64-year old Ruby Marshall is charged with first-degree vehicular homicide in the death of 47-year old Jerald Freeman. Freeman was killed in a motorcycle wreck on Pea Ridge Road near his home on October 7.
Georgia State Patrol investigators say Marshall allegedly crossed over the center line and forced Freeman off the road. He ran down an embankment and was thrown from his bike. He died of a broken neck. A family member discovered his body the next day.
Investigators say Marshall did not stop or render aid. She was arrested by State Troopers on Oct. 30 in Dahlonega. Marshall was released from the Hall County Jail on Nov. 7 on $20,100 bond.
She is charged with first-degree vehicular homicide, failure to maintain lane, reckless driving and failure to stop at the scene of an accident. If convicted, she could face up to 15 years in prison.
