Robert Aaron Long’s defense is challenging the composition of the Fulton County grand jury that indicted him more than two years ago.

Long had a motions hearing on Friday, Oct. 20, for the 2021 Atlanta spa shootings.

His attorney, Christian Lamar, said there are issues with how the grand jury in his case was selected, because the county’s master jury list allegedly included duplicates, expired driver’s licenses and inactive voters.
