the death sentence of a man convicted of killing a Baldwin County deputy has been overturned.
Robert Wayne Holsey had been on death row for the 1995 killing of William Robinson IV.
But Augusta Superior Court Judge Neal Dickert overturned the death sentence because of ineffective counsel.
The judge ruled that Holsey's defense did not go far enough in detailing his troubled family background or mental health issues before the jury.
