Lottery Store Murder Suspect Enters Not Guilty Plea
December 7, 2013
The third suspect indicted for murder in connection with the November 2012 shooting death of a Davisville lottery store owner has entered a not guilty plea.
Michael Brad Orso, age 28 of Atmore, was arrested just last month and was due to make his first court appearance Friday. His attorney waived the arrangement and entered the not guilty plea on his behalf.
Orso, is charged with premeditated first-degree murder for allegedly assisting in planning the robbery and providing the gun used in the shooting death of store own Thomas “Tommy” Kroll during a robbery on November 6, 2012.
Malcolm Troy McGhee was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison for the crime late last month. His codefendent, 21-year old Brent Lambeth, previously pleaded no contest to second degree murder. Under his plea deal, he will receive no more than 30 years in prison in exchange for his testimony against McGhee and Orso.

All we call is pray for both families cause they have both lost LOVED ones. Everything is in the Master Hands And is done the MASTER’s way!
He can be charged but it will be hard to prove that he was involved. The original story reported that a young lady was with the 2 suspects at the store and waited in the car. Since she was not charged, she obviously convinced the authorities that she knew nothing of the planned robbery/murder beforehand. Mr. Orso can use the same strategy He loaned his gun to a friend and had no clue what the friend was planning to do,
Yo…wake up people… Regardless of “WHO” pulled the trigger, if someone was involved in the planning or any part of the crime, they can also be charged with the result. In this case it was MURDER, so all involved can be charged with the same crime. Regardless of who pulled the trigger…an Innocent Man was MURDERED and his family has to suffer. I sincerely hope that all involved spend many many years in prison!!! And there is no “nonsense” to that…
Wake up D Hall. if you read the story it is plan that mcgee fired the gun.. Read the whole story geninne before you put your nonsence in it. DuHHH
