A man who was found guilty during a murder retrial looked to be 'staring' at his lawyer in the courtroom.
Josiah Hughley was one of the three alleged gang members convicted of murdering 29-year-old father Bradley Coleman.
The New Orleans teacher and coach was shot dead when trying to put air in his tires at a Gwinnett County gas station on 10 July 2022.

Watch Hughley receive his guilty verdict below:
Coleman was visiting his parents in Georgia, and wanted his daughter to spend some time with her grandparents.
Just after noon, he visited the petrol station to pump up his tires when a black passenger vehicle pulled up beside him.

The individuals inside the car tried to rob Coleman's vehicle but, instead, shot and killed him.
Hughley was believed to be the shooter, while David Booker was his armed support, and Miles Collins was the getaway driver.
Due to a prosecution mistake in 2023, a judge granted a retrial for 15 January 2025.
On 28 January 2025, the jury reached guilty verdicts for each defendant.

As shown in the clip above, Hughley appears to briefly stare at his lawyer while the guilty counts are being read out.
"It has been two years, six months, 18 days, four-and-a-half hours since they took our beloved Bradley," Vanessa Harris, Coleman's aunt said.
"I still remember the day it happened, like it happened today, and parts of it still haunt me at this moment.
"Their heinous crimes have completely impacted and changed our lives forever.

"I cannot even begin to describe the feelings of disgust I have for each of them because they were not man enough to go out there and get a job and buy the car that they want.
"They hunted my nephew down like a wounded animal and shot him dead for a car. For a car."
She continued: "I have no pity for either one of them. May they live the rest of their miserable lives behind bars, never to walk the grounds again.
"My sister lost her son. My brother-in-law lost his son. My nephew lost his brother.

"My beautiful niece lost her father. And they get to just sit here?
"No. They need to go to prison for the rest of their lives. No pity. Now, send them away to their forever homes: prison."
All three defendants were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
