In a verdict that left Hannah Payne in tears, the 24-year-old Georgia woman was found responsible for the killing of Kenneth Herring during a citizen's arrest gone fatally awry several years ago. The verdict was delivered in a courtroom overseen by Judge Jewel C. Scott after approximately 90 minutes of deliberation by 12 Peach State jurors. Kenneth Herring, 62, was shot and killed following a minor traffic accident assumed to have been caused by him on May 7, 2019. Payne faced multiple charges, including two counts of felony murder, three counts of possession of a weapon during a crime, and one count each of malice murder, aggravated assault, and false imprisonment. She was found guilty on all counts. During the state's closing arguments, the lead prosecutor emphasized that Herring, who was unarmed and minding his own business, was chased down, detained, shot, and murdered. The prosecutor stated, "You don't get the death penalty for committing a traffic offense." In her defense, Payne admitted to never drawing her weapon before the day of the incident but claimed she never intended for the gun to fire. She argued that Herring shot himself during a struggle for the weapon. The incident began with a minor traffic crash involving Payne and a semi-truck. According to earlier testimony, Herring, the alleged at-fault driver, left the scene after 15 to 20 minutes. Payne, who was not involved in the crash, called 911 and waited for law enforcement to arrive. Despite a witness suggesting that Herring might be experiencing a medical emergency, Payne believed he was drunk. She pursued Herring against 911 advice, intending initially to gather license plate information. The prosecution argued that Payne aggressively approached Herring, threatened him with her gun, and shot him immediately. Payne claimed a different sequence of events, stating that Herring grabbed her, ripped her shirt, and dragged her with his car before the gun went off. The trial revealed conflicting accounts, with the state relying on witness testimony and recordings to assert that Payne was the initial aggressor. Payne was initially charged with one count of murder, made bond, and later faced additional felony counts with her bond revoked. District Attorney Tracy Graham Lawson emphasized at the time of the initial murder charge, "She's using deadly force; she wasn't faced with deadly force. You cannot claim self-defense and use deadly force unless you're not the initial aggressor—she is." Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

What is the image of God we see in our minds and how do we encounter God in this new world we are living in? If we are honest, we might find that we often fit God into a box that works with the way we view the world."What if people were invited to come tell what they already know of God instead of to learn what they are supposed to believe? What if they were blessed for what they are doing in the world instead of chastened for not doing more at church? What if church felt more like a way station than a destination? What if the church’s job were to move people out the door instead of trying to keep them in, by convincing them that God needed them more in the world than in the church?” - Barbara Brown TaylorIn part 2 of this 2-part discussion, Melissa and Bishop Wright talk with Barbara Brown Taylor about the Church can learn during the pandemics we face and what a new church might look like. They share their dreams for church and discuss God in the darkness we often experience in life.

In this episode, Episcopal priest, Barbara Brown Taylor, and John explore the ideas that she has been working through in her books Learning to Walk in the Dark (2015) and Holy Envy (2019). She eloquently guides the listener through many of the hurdles that one encounters when grounding one's self in a particular religious tradition. She encourages all of us to not only look on the other side of the fence over at another tradition but to experience the freedom one may acquire once we open ourselves to the other and see our own worldviews anew. Barbara has a gentle ability to challenges one's assumptions about the world and her books provide a pathway to learn how to love more and also how to connect with and challenge those aspects of each of us that we often choose not to see.
