A man sentenced to life in prison who is now serving time at Hays State Prison in Chattooga County for murdering a teenager in Perry, Georgia now wants a new trial.

Brandon Warren wasn’t actually in the courtroom Monday. Instead, he attended through a video call from Hays State Prison, as Judge Edward Lukemire granted his request for a new attorney.

Five years ago, 18-year-old Sam Poss went missing. Investigators found his body a few days later, buried in the woods outside Perry.

Warren, along with accomplice Dakota White both testified that the stabbed and strangled the victim, but neither took responsibility and testified against each other saying the other was the most responsible for the murder.
