The jury has reached a verdict in the trial of two men who were accused of being involved in a violent home invasion. According to prosecutors, this home invasion was orchestrated by two college lacrosse players.
For over five years, Channel 2 Action News has been diligently tracking the progress of this case.
In November 2019, Maxx Pritchett, Tyrone Robinson, Lyndsey Kallish, and Lauren Riley arrived at an AirBnb located in the Reynoldstown neighborhood in southeast Atlanta, according to prosecutors. The prosecution claims that the two women orchestrated a home invasion robbery during a party, as they were aware that the rental property contained a significant amount of cash and drugs.
Pritchett has been convicted of a range of serious crimes including home invasion, armed robbery, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, participating in gang activity, and possessing firearms during the commission of a felony. He was also found guilty of possessing a firearm as a first offender/probationer. However, he was acquitted of three counts of armed robbery.
Robinson faced multiple charges, including home invasion, armed robbery, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, participating in gang activity, and possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony. He was found guilty on all counts.
The sentencing of the men will take place on Thursday.
Pritchett, the alleged shooter in the case, has a history of committing home invasions. He is among five individuals who are facing charges in the death of Jose Greer. Greer tragically lost his life in 2015 when he jumped from his third-floor apartment balcony while attempting to escape a burglary situation.
Pritchett admitted his guilt for first-degree burglary in the case and was subsequently sentenced to two years in prison. Following his release, he was placed on probation for eight years.
He got arrested for the home invasion while he was still on probation.
