The trial for two men accused of killing a Fulton County Sheriff’s Office employee has been postponed until 2024.
Fifty-year-old Harvey John Taylor and 52-year-old Thomas G. Sanches are each facing charges of first-degree murder in the 2022 shooting death of Kristy Taylor.
Harvey John Taylor was originally scheduled for a pre-trial hearing last Monday with a trial date set on Oct. 18. According to court documents, the judge agreed to a defense motion for continuation and postponed Taylor’s pre-trial hearing until Dec. 11, with the trial beginning on Jan. 24.
Sanches’ pre-trial hearing was postponed until Nov. 27, with his trial also starting on Jan. 24.
Kristy Taylor, who worked for the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, was reported to have filed for divorce from Harvey John Taylor on June 16, 2022. Three weeks later, on July 9, she was found dead of a gunshot wound to her head outside her home on Fawnwood Road in Salem.
Investigators stated a few weeks before her death, Harvey John Taylor offered another man $5,000 “to put a bullet in Kristy’s head and kill her dog Blue.” The man reportedly told detectives Harvey John Taylor “wanted Kristy killed because he didn’t want to lose everything he had in the divorce.”
