What we found is man named Michael Anthony Mayola, who was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment on November 15, 2023 for the first degree múrder of an 11 year old Alabama boy.
Though he took no direct appeal from that conviction, Mayola has subsequently attempted several collateral attacks in both state and federal courts.
Mayola was known as George R. Workman in Oneonta and operated a barber shop at the west end of First Avenue where he cut many area youngsters' hair.
