Casey Polhemus, 97th District Attorney
In the May 31, 2016 death of Gray, a 30-year-old native of Henrietta, Donny Davis, 23 was indicted for manslaughter and Macey Choate, 22, who was originally charged with murder five months after Gray’s death, was no-billed by the jury.
In the death of the child, Sarah Elizabeth Newsom and Joshua Thomas Fulbright, both 23 at the time of the incident were indicted for injury to a child, a first-degree felony.

The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
