On the heels of one death penalty case, Newton County is preparing for a second this year. Rodney Renia Young, 43, is accused of bludgeoning to death his ex-fiancée's son, 28-year-old Gary Lamar Jones, in 2008. Attorneys for Young, Teri Thompson and Joseph Romond of the Georgia Capital Defender's Office, were in Superior Court Judge Samuel Ozburn's courtroom on Thursday, along with Newton County District Attorney Layla Zon.
