to two counts of malice mur
der after four days of jury
selection for his trial in the
murder of his wife, Jennifer
Corbin.
He had been scheduled to
stand trial later for the 1990
murder of Dorothy “Dolly”
Hearn in Augusta, where
both Barton Corbin and
Hearn where both dental
school students at the time.
Hearn’s death had been
ruled a suicide but her case
was reopened soon after
Jennifer Corbin was found
dead in the couple’s Buford
home in 2004. Both Hearn
and Corbin died of a single
gunshot wound to the head
and their bodies were found
with the gun lying nearby.
Both were initially ruled sui
cides.
Corbin technically could
be considered for parole in
18 years, he believes parole
consideration won’t come for
at least 28 years, based on
the parole board’s record.
