ATLANTA AP – There’s little doubt that Emmanuel Ruiz was involved in the gruesome 2001 killings of three people at an Atlanta biker bar. Witnesses say he admitted shooting one of the victims, and police found ammunition and weapons receipts in his father’s car.
Ruiz and Terry Brandon Harper were convicted in 2003 of the murders and sentenced to three life prison terms. But on Monday, the Georgia Supreme Court revisited the case after Ruiz claimed he received inadequate counsel from his well-known attorney.
