A judge could decide if the case of a former DeKalb County officer who shot and killed an Air Force veteran in 2015 can move forward.
Posted — UpdatedFormer officer Robert Olsen is facing murder charges in Anthony Hill's death. The night of the shooting a 911 caller reported a male acting deranged, knocking on doors and crawling around on the ground naked.
