Atlanta, Georgia – Witnesses testified Wednesday in court about a violent home invasion robbery that took place during a Halloween party in Reynoldstown in 2019. The trial at the Fulton County Courthouse involves defendants Maxx Pritchett and Tyrone Robinson, accused of the home invasion and robbery. Additionally, former Life University lacrosse players Lyndsey Kallish and Lauren Reilly are facing allegations of orchestrating the violent incident at a Reynoldstown Airbnb.
During the proceedings, the witnesses described the events of that fateful night, with Becca Plato and Holden Carmody, who were injured in the attack, providing their accounts. Despite the emotional nature of the trial, both Plato and Carmody maintained a composed demeanor while recounting the events.
Carmody, when asked if he could identify his attackers, expressed uncertainty, stating, “I want to say yes to that, but I can’t.” The witnesses present in the courtroom on Wednesday indicated that they were unsure if Pritchett and Robinson were the individuals responsible for the robbery.
According to Plato, the lacrosse players exhibited suspicious behavior when they arrived at the party, prompting her to follow them as they explored the house. Moments after Kallish and Reilly left, Robinson and Pritchett allegedly barged in with guns and masks, demanding drugs and money while assaulting individuals in their path.
Despite attempts by defense attorneys to discredit the witnesses by insinuating substance abuse during the party, the testimonies of the witnesses painted a vivid picture of the events that unfolded that night. The prosecution highlighted the defendants’ alleged obsession with gang culture and illicit activities, indicating a potential motive for the home invasion.
As the trial continues, both defendants and victims are expected to provide their testimonies, shedding further light on the circumstances surrounding the violent robbery at the Halloween party in 2019. The court proceedings are set to reveal more details about the events leading up to the home invasion and the individuals involved in the criminal act.
