A Georgia groom is charged with murder in the shooting death of his new bride’s stepfather at their wedding.

Jason Maughon, 44, was fatally wounded at his stepdaughter’s wedding in Butts County in July 2024. And the groom, Aaron White, who was also shot in the hand, has been indicted for felony murder.

A defense attorney for Aaron White says he believes the charges are politically motivated because a grand jury found his client acted in self-defense, but is now heading to a second grand jury.

The Georgia Record was relaunched in June of 2021 and has been extremely successful fighting corruption in the state named after King George of England. The original paper was started in 1899 and published into the early 20th century. In 2020, CDM (Creative Destruction Media) acquired Johns Creek Post and brought back The Georgia Record to better represent the state rather than just Johns Creek News.
