Two Fulton
County men were convicted Tuesday of robbery by sudden snatching for stealing
a wallet from an elderly woman at the Peachtree City Kroger on Ga. Highway
74 North in March.
James Clifford
Andrews, 62, of Atlanta and Alton Barker, 44, of Union City, were both
convicted by a jury in Fayette County Superior Court. Their sentencing
hearings will be held at a later date.
During the
trial, the victim testified that one of the defendants walked in front
of her cart, forcing her to slow down to avoid him, while the other reached
into her purse to grab the wallet.
The wallet
was later recovered in the store with none of its contents missing, the
victim testified.
