The trial of three men who are accused of murdering two Rome, Georgia sisters has been delayed until November.  According to a report in the Rome News-Tribune over the weekend, the trial was delayed after a continuance was granted in May of this year.

Desmond Brown, Lashawn Watts and Christopher Pullen are accused of murdering Armuchee High School student Vanita Richardson and Truvenia Campbell after an argument about a lost wallet.  Brown accused the sisters of stealing the wallet at a party in Rome and drove the two sisters to Cherokee County, Alabama, where authorities believe the two were murdered.   The wallet was later found behind a television at Brown’s residence.

In January 2022, Watts filed a motion to delay his trial and motion to be transported to future court dates after the sheriff’s department was unable to take him to his January 12th court date, Cherokee County Circuit Court records state.
