Atlanta woman guilty of road rage murder. |
Three years ago, Hannah Payne took it upon herself to chase a man who caused a hit and run accident. The white woman followed the Black motorist to an onramp near Interstate 285 in Atlanta. She shot him multiple times while engaging in a verbal confrontation with Kenneth Herring.
Instead of writing down his license plate, taking photos and calling 911, Payne shot him and then claim self defense. That did not work in a jury trial against her. A
The 2019 incident in Clayton County began with a minor car crash with a semi-truck that was reportedly caused by Herring running a red light in his Dodge Dakota pickup truck. Payne was not involved in the crash, but said she witnessed it and pulled over to call 911.
Payne testified that a corrections officer who also witnessed the crash told her the man was "OK, but... definitely inebriated” as they waited at the scene.
This led Payne and the semi-truck driver to ask at the same time, “Do you mean he’s drunk?”
Meanwhile, the state corrections officer testified that Herring was displaying symptoms of a diabetic shock. He said the man’s eyes were red-orange, he appeared disoriented, and he had circled his truck several times before he drove off.
Thanks to an eyewitness and her cellphone showing the encounter, it totally destroyed everything that Payne was trying to assert. She found out her fate.
Justice is served. |
Payne was found guilty of murder and vehicular manslaughter. Payne was convicted on two counts of felony murder, three counts of possession of a weapon during a crime, and one count each of malice murder, aggravated assault, and false imprisonment.
Payne was sentenced to LIFE in the iron college with a slim possibility of parole. She must serve 30 years, wait an additional 13 years to have a parole hearing and hopeful family members of Herring offer leniency.
Her white women tears did not save her.
Clayton County Judge Jewel Scott had this trial delayed due to Payne and her lawyers playing fucking games.
