Sandersville vigil to honor man who died after cops stunned him

SANDERSVILLE, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - A vigil on Monday will honor a man who died after he was stun-gunned multiple times by the Washington County deputies in 2017.

Rrhett Scott, Henry Copeland and Michael Howell all face felony murder charges after reports show Eurie Martin was stun-gunned at least 15 times in four minutes.

After the October trial for the now-former deputies was declared a mistrial, the district attorney passed the case to the state attorney general.

Martin would have turned 63 years old this year.

The vigil will begin at 5 p.m. at the county courthouse in Sandersville.
