Two brothers

accused of murdering an innocent motorist in a collision as they sped

away from police in Fayetteville several months ago have pled not guilty

to all criminal charges lodged against them.

Marvin Edwin

Mitchell and Melvin Edward Mitchell both entered not guilty pleas in Fayette

County Superior Court Monday morning. The pair, who were previously represented

them in the criminal action brought forth by the Fayette County District

Attorney's Office.

The Mitchells,

who are twins, are suspected of robbing the Ingles grocery store at gunpoint,

which led to a police pursuit that ended when the Mitchells' vehicle struck

Jason A. Trotman of Union City while he was waiting for a green light

at the intersection of Jeff Davis Drive and Ga. Highway 85.

The Mitchells

are currently being held without bond. They are each charged with murder,

armed robbery and kidnapping.

Melvin Mitchell,

who police say drove the getaway vehicle, is also charged with a number

of traffic offenses, including speeding and fleeing/attempting to elude

a police officer.
