After a six-day trial, a Bulloch County jury acquitted one of two men Friday charged with murdering a Statesboro preacher, but convicted the other, who was in prison at the time. Tarell Momon, 36, an inmate at Dooly State Prison, was found guilty of malice murder but not guilty of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Prosecutors said he directed the hit-style killing from his prison cell and thus was responsible for the June 30, 2013, shooting death of 51-year-old Michael Anthony Riley in his Greenbriar Trail home.
