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.
