AUGUSTA, Ga. - An Augusta man has been convicted of the 2021 murder of his stepdaughter, according to the Augusta District Attorney's Office. The DA's office says seventy-six-year-old George James Wilson's guilty verdict came after a three-day trial that highlighted his domestic abuse. The DA's office says Wilson spent nearly two decades abusing his wife, the mother of his victim Kelli Lewis Watkins-Neal. According to court documents, Watkins-Neal had recently moved closer to Augusta from North Carolina, emboldening her mother. That's when Wilson reportedly told his wife to choose between her daughter and him. That's when she told him she wanted a divorce.
