With six prior convictions in Hall County, a Hall County man was given a life sentence without the chance of parole after a kidnapping trial, according to court documents.
Billy Ray Moon Sr., 51, was sentenced April 21 following a three-day trial.
According to information provided by Northeastern Judicial Circuit District Attorney Lee Darragh’s office, the case concerned a woman trying to run away from Moon during an argument Feb. 13, 2020.
