SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — A judge ordered a set of jurors’ names be released Monday, three months after a Chatham County man was found guilty in the 2019 death of an elderly man.
Charles Teeple IV was charged after he punched 66-year-old Bruce Helmly on New Year’s Eve in 2019, which led to Helmly’s death days later. The incident occurred at Basil’s Bar in Wilmington Island.
