A man convicted, along with his former girlfriend, of a 2003 quadruple homicide in Gaston County was dealt a blow this week in his efforts to have his four murder convictions overturned and win a new trial.
Keith Lavoris Hall, now 41 and serving multiple life sentences, was hoping to get additional DNA testing done from a fingerprint found on a Pepsi can police found during their investigation into the Sept. 2, 2003, shooting deaths of four people in the Paradise Point neighborhood south of Belmont.
Hall, who has been representing himself on his appeals, asked for the DNA testing in June 2019. A month later, Gaston County Superior Court Judge Jesse Caldwell denied Hall s request.
