GA V. Lacy Aaron Schmidt Trial Part Three

In January 2011, Lacy Aaron Schmidt fatally murdered his friend and former girlfriend, Alana Calahan, at her residence.

Lacy Aaron Schmidt was found guilty of felony murder while committing an aggravated assault, malice murder, possessing a firearm during the commission of a crime, and theft by taking a handgun in February 2012.

According to the prosecution, Lacy Aaron Schmidt premeditated the shooting and had stolen the firearm from Alana’s father.

They claim he shot the Harlem Middle School girl in the back of the head as she posted images to Facebook and then carried her body to the woods behind the house to hide the crime.

Aaron Schmidt received a life sentence.

Schmidt filed an appeal with the Georgia Supreme Court.

According to the appeal, Judge Michael Annis had failed to inform the jury.

They may have found him guilty of the less serious crime of involuntary manslaughter.

In addition, Lacy Aaron Schmidt claimed that his defense attorney was incompetent and that the penalty he received was an example of “cruel and unusual punishment.”

But the highest court, as stated by the justice who presides over the case, P. Harris Hines, has rejected every one of his reasons.
