Ghostface Gangsters Plead Guilty In Mableton Murder

On Monday, Christopher Lee Brewster, 29, of Austell, and Kenneth Lamar Ransom, 42, of Lithia Springs, each pleaded guilty to felony murder and one count of violating Georgia’s street gang terrorism and prevention act. Brewster and Ransom were each sentenced to life in prison. Last week, Walker, 25, of Marietta pleaded guilty to three counts of gang-act violations and was sentenced to 40 years, with 20 years to serve in prison and the rest on probation.

Jason Adam Chester, 32, of Mableton, pleaded guilty in October to three gang counts and was sentenced to 25 years, with 15 years to serve in prison.
