A soldier has been denied bond on a murder charge stemming from a fatal shooting Saturday afternoon in Hinesville. Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Jermaine Ray Mealy, 31, made his first court appearance Monday morning before Liberty County Magistrate Judge Gerald Morris, who denied him during a hearing in the Liberty County jail. Interviewed Tuesday morning by phone, Mealy’s wife, Lisa Lynette Mealy, 45, said that when a superior-court judge holds another bond hearing later, Jermaine Mealy’s family will decide how to proceed.
