EATONTON, Ga. — Convicted double-murderer Ricky Allen “Juvie” Dubose now has a new distinction.
At 29, he is believed to be the youngest prison inmate on death row in Georgia.
After a jury of six men and six women from Glynn County convicted him of the June 13, 2017, shooting deaths of Sgt. Curtis Billue and Sgt. Christopher Monica, jurors heard emotional testimony from family members and other state witnesses during rebuttal testimony. The jurors later recommended the death penalty.
The trial judge in the case, Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit Superior Court Judge Alison T. Burleson, agreed with the jurors and affixed Dubose’s sentence as death last Thursday afternoon in Putnam County Superior Court.
During the rebuttal portion of the penalty phase, Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit District Attorney T. Wright Barksdale III told jurors exactly why Dubose deserved no less punishment than death.
Barksdale was aided in the prosecution of Dubose by Chief Assistant District Attorney Allison Mauldin and Assistant District Attorney Blyne May, as well as Putnam County Sheriff Howard R. Sills.
