Robert Aaron Long appeared in court in Atlanta, after already pleading guilty to killing four people in Cherokee County.
A man already sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to fatally shooting four people at a massage business outside Atlanta, Georgia has pleaded not guilty to shooting four others on the same day at two spas inside the city.
Robert Aaron Long, 22, pleaded not guilty to charges including murder, aggravated assault and domestic terrorism during an appearance in Fulton County Superior Court on Tuesday.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is seeking the death penalty, as well as a sentencing enhancement under Georgia’s new hate crimes law. Willis said last month that she believes race and gender played a role in Long’s motivation.
