TUSKEGEE, Ala. (WDNews) — The jury in the capital murder trial of William Chase Johnson has been unable to reach a verdict, prompting Judge Bert Rice to declare a mistrial. Johnson faces accusations of fatally shooting Lowndes County Sheriff “Big John” Williams in November 2019 at a QV gas station in Hayneville.
Authorities say it could be at least a year before Johnson faces a retrial, during which he will remain in custody.
