PUTNAM COUNTY, Ga. — The case of the second Georgia prison inmate accused of killing two corrections officers over four years ago goes back to court Wednesday.

The hearing starts at 9 a.m. in Putnam County Superior Court in Eatonton.

Back in September, a jury convicted Donnie Rowe of charges including felony and malice murder.

Rowe is now serving life without the possibility of parole.

Dubose faces the same charges.

Prosecutors say the two men killed guards Curtis Billue and Christopher Monica aboard a prison bus in Putnam County in the summer of 2017.

Dubose's trial is scheduled for this upcoming may.
