In March, a convicted murderer was released from the Clayton County Jail by mistake. The family of his victim and Clayton County officials say they were not alerted until days later. The inmate was eventually apprehended almost three weeks later, not far from the Florida hometown of his victim’s family. Today we’re asking, how often are inmates released by mistake, who should be held accountable and what process should be in place for alerting the public, especially the victim’s family? Defense attorney David West returns to “Closer Look” to give his legal take. Plus, there has been an increase in data centers being built across the Peach State, prompting many questions. Today, we preview WABE’s new series, “Server South.” The series explores what data centers are and why the industry has honed in on Georgia to plant roots. For “Closer Look’s” Class of 2025 graduation series, we hear from Ivy Nganga. The Oglethorpe University graduate majored in economics and minored in math. She talks with Rose about her academic journey, including plans to pursue a PhD and her long-term aspirations to help women in Kenya.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Day in Legal History: Selma to Montgomery MarchOn March 21, 1965, Martin Luther King Jr. led the beginning of the third and final Selma to Montgomery march, a pivotal moment in the American civil rights movement. The march was a direct response to the violent suppression of earlier demonstrations and the systemic disenfranchisement of Black voters in the Jim Crow South. Just weeks earlier, peaceful marchers had been brutally attacked by law enforcement on “Bloody Sunday,” as they attempted to cross Selma's Edmund Pettus Bridge. That violence was broadcast nationwide, shocking the conscience of the country and mobilizing public support for voting rights legislation.The march that began on March 21 was federally sanctioned, with U.S. District Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr. ruling that the demonstrators had a constitutional right to march. Protected by federal troops and the National Guard, the marchers traveled 54 miles over five days, arriving at the Alabama State Capitol in Montgomery on March 25. Their numbers swelled to more than 25,000 by the time they reached the steps of the Capitol, where Dr. King delivered his famous "How Long, Not Long" speech, declaring that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”This sustained campaign of nonviolent resistance laid the moral and legal foundation for the Voting Rights Act of 1965, signed into law just five months later. The Act outlawed discriminatory practices like literacy tests and poll taxes and empowered federal oversight of voter registration in areas with histories of discrimination. The Selma marches highlighted the power of constitutional protest and judicial protection of civil rights, reinforcing the essential role of federal courts in safeguarding democratic participation.There was once a towering oak tree that stood firm in the wind and, under it, a reed that bent whenever the wind blew. A tyrant came to the land of the reed and oak, stomping his boot wherever he pleased. The oak resisted and was chopped down. The reed, seeing this, bent deeper–letting the boot press it into the mud day after day. Years passed and the reed, still alive, whispered to the boot: “See? I'm wise – I survived.”The boot replied, “You're not wise. You're soft. The oak was crushed because it defied us. But you? I step on you because I can.” Then the boot ground the reed into the dirt—without another thought. In a move that underscores the growing influence of executive power over traditionally independent legal institutions, President Trump rescinded an executive order targeting Paul Weiss after the firm pledged $40 million in pro bono services aligned with his administration's political goals. The announcement followed a private meeting with firm chairman Brad Karp and was accompanied by a sweeping commitment: no DEI policies, merit-based hiring, and representation of clients across the political spectrum—including those favored by the administration.Trump had previously sanctioned Paul Weiss by revoking its security clearance and threatening client contracts, citing the involvement of former partner Mark Pomerantz in the Manhattan DA's prosecution of Trump. That campaign against Paul Weiss, part of a broader effort targeting over 20 legal entities, seemed aimed at punishing firms perceived as adversarial while promoting loyalty through coercion.Karp's public gratitude for the order's withdrawal—and his reported acknowledgment of “wrongdoing” by Pomerantz—reads less like a principled resolution and more like a compelled confession by a simpering coward. Paul Weiss, a firm with deep Democratic ties, has now aligned itself with a president actively dismantling traditional norms around legal independence, seemingly in exchange for restored access and favor.This capitulation signals more than just a thaw in Trump's icy relationship with Big Law—it may represent a strategic blueprint: punish, pressure, and reward compliance – like with dogs. Legal experts and those with eyes to see warn that this redefinition of executive influence risks turning law firms into instruments of political will rather than defenders from it.Trump Rescinds Paul Weiss Order as Firm Pledges $40 Million (2)Frustrated by constant helicopter and seaplane noise, New York lawmakers are pushing for a first-of-its-kind "noise tax" targeting non-essential flights over the city. The proposal, led by state Sen. Kristen Gonzalez, would charge $50 per seat or $200 per flight for tourist and luxury air travel, while exempting essential services like medical transport, law enforcement, and construction. The revenue—expected to reach $10–15 million annually—would fund the state's Environmental Protection Fund, a move Gonzalez says is critical amid federal environmental funding cuts under President Trump.The bill reflects growing anger among residents across socio-economic lines who say aerial traffic disrupts daily life, especially in parks and along waterfronts. App-based services like Blade have exacerbated the issue by making chartered air travel more accessible to the wealthy, turning the skies into noisy corridors over neighborhoods and landmarks.Supporters, including advocacy group Stop the Chop NY/NJ, hope the tax discourages unnecessary flights by raising costs. However, the helicopter industry, represented by Vertical Aviation International, strongly opposes the bill. They argue that aviation regulation is solely under federal jurisdiction and warn the tax could trigger lawsuits and threaten jobs. The group says it has already taken steps to reduce noise but acknowledges that changing flight paths often just shifts the problem from one area to another.The legislation has passed the state Senate but faces challenges in the Assembly, where it stalled last year. With a budget deadline approaching on April 1, negotiations continue.New Yorkers Sick of Hovering Helicopters Prompt Bid to Tax NoiseA federal judge has ruled that the Social Security Administration (SSA) likely broke privacy laws by giving Elon Musk's anti-fraud team, known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DGE), unrestricted access to sensitive personal data on millions of Americans. Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander of Maryland blocked any further data sharing and criticized the agency for turning over vast amounts of information without proper oversight. The judge described DGE's actions as a "fishing expedition" based more on suspicion than evidence, warning against overreach in the name of rooting out fraud.The data in question comes from the SSA's “Numident” database—its so-called “crown jewels”—which holds Social Security numbers, medical records, banking data, and more, some dating back to the 1930s. SSA officials admitted DGE staff had access to a “massive amount” of records, and privacy advocates said the team was embedded in the agency without vetting or training. The ruling requires DGE to delete any data it accessed.The decision is a significant setback for DGE and comes on the heels of another ruling limiting Musk's authority to shut down USAID, since he lacks Senate confirmation. President Trump's administration has defended DGE's mission, calling it a necessary tool to cut waste, but the court noted a disturbing lack of concern for citizen privacy. SSA's acting head, Leland Dudek, expressed confusion over the order's breadth and said it might require cutting off access for all SSA staff.Meanwhile, labor unions and advocacy groups involved in the lawsuit welcomed the decision, saying it defends Americans' data from unlawful government intrusion. DGE's aggressive tactics have drawn scrutiny across other agencies as well, with courts allowing access in some departments but blocking it in more sensitive areas like the Treasury.Judge stops Musk's team from 'unbridled access' to Social Security private data | ReutersChief Judge Diane Sykes of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will take senior status on October 1, creating the first appellate court vacancy during President Donald Trump's second term. Sykes, appointed by President George W. Bush and once considered a potential Supreme Court nominee under Trump, has served over three decades in both the Wisconsin and federal judiciary. Her transition to semi-retirement allows Trump to nominate a new full-time judge to the influential Chicago-based court, which currently holds a narrow 6–5 Republican-appointed majority.Sykes cited a desire to spend more time with family as her reason for stepping back from active service. She becomes the second federal appellate judge to announce senior status since Trump's return to office, following Judge Sandra Ikuta of the 9th Circuit. While four appellate vacancies remain from President Biden's term, Sykes's departure offers Trump his first direct opportunity to shape the 7th Circuit bench.Sykes has authored notable decisions, including one upholding Wisconsin's voter ID law and a dissent in a landmark 2017 case where the 7th Circuit ruled that LGBTQ employees are protected under Title VII. She criticized the majority in that case for overstepping legislative boundaries—a position later rejected by the Supreme Court in Bostock v. Clayton County (2020).7th Circuit's Sykes to take senior status, creating vacancy for Trump | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Johann Sebastian Bach.This week, we close with a piece as enduring and elemental as the legal principles we often discuss: Johann Sebastian Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, specifically its iconic Prelude. Born on this day, March 21, 1685, Bach remains one of the foundational figures in Western music—a composer whose work balances mathematical precision with deep emotional resonance. Though he wrote for kings and churches, his music speaks to the full range of human experience, from joy to lament, duty to wonder.The Prelude to this suite is among the most recognizable solo cello pieces ever written, opening with a simple G major arpeggio that expands into a flowing, almost improvisational meditation. It's unaccompanied, yet complete—no orchestra, no embellishment, just one instrument revealing infinite depth. Written around 1717–1723 during Bach's time in Köthen, the suites were not published in his lifetime and lay in relative obscurity until cellist Pablo Casals rediscovered them in the 20th century.The piece carries a quiet authority that feels apt for reflection—whether on a ruling, a civil rights march, or a government in turmoil. It's structured, yes, but never rigid; expressive, but never indulgent. The Prelude doesn't declare or argue. It invites, it unfolds. It reminds us, like authority best wielded, that elegance lies in clarity and that restraint can be a form of power.This week, we let the steady resonance of Bach's Prelude accompany us out.Without further ado, Johann Sebastian Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, the Prelude.

This episode cuts through the legalese to reveal the actual standards courts use when determining if harassment crosses the line from unpleasant to unlawful.We unpack decades of landmark Supreme Court decisions that have shaped workplace discrimination law, from Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson establishing sexual harassment as discrimination, to the groundbreaking Bostock v. Clayton County extending protections to LGBTQ+ workers. Through clear explanations of key legal concepts like "severe or pervasive" and "reasonable person standard," we demystify what makes harassment actionable under federal law.The conversation moves beyond theory into practical territory, examining what documentation employees should maintain, how reporting systems affect liability, and when employers become responsible for harassment from supervisors, coworkers, or even customers. We explore nuanced questions about online harassment in remote work settings and how intersectionality affects discrimination cases when someone faces multiple forms of bias simultaneously.Whether you're an employee wondering if your workplace crosses legal boundaries, a manager seeking to understand your responsibilities, or simply curious about this evolving area of law, this episode provides a comprehensive yet accessible roadmap to navigating hostile work environment claims. Take away clear guidance on documentation strategies, reporting options including the EEOC, and how changing workplace dynamics continue to shape these critical legal protections.

Clayton County be applied across the entire federal government.Shortly after the new rule issued, at least ten separate lawsuits challenging it were filed by states, school districts, and parental rights groups in various federal jurisdictions. Thus far, the lawsuits have been uniformly successfully, with the rule now preliminarily enjoined in 26 states and numerous additional school districts. As oral argument is set to begin in the circuit courts on the government’s appeal, this webinar will review this litigation’s history, as well as preview its future, including what it might say about Bostock applicability outside of Title VII.Featuring: Donald A. Daugherty, Senior Counsel, Litigation, Defense of Freedom Institute

Clayton County police announced the arrest of Michale Edwards for the murder of Briana Winston, his girlfriend, in their College Park, Georgia apartment. The incident, which occurred on March 17, took a macabre turn as Edwards allegedly strangled Winston to death after she confronted him about secretly marrying another woman. What followed was a ghastly cover-up orchestrated with the help of his own family. Lt. Ashanti Marbury of the Clayton County Police Department described the crime as anything but a "crime of passion," highlighting the evident malice and intent behind Edwards' actions. According to Lt. Marbury, Edwards, 23, engaged in a heated argument with Winston over his infidelity before fatally choking her. The aftermath of the murder unfolded gruesomely. Edwards purportedly stuffed Winston's lifeless body into a suitcase and drove to Gates, Tennessee, with the assistance of an accomplice. There, they burned her body in a barrel, using a shovel to hasten the process of incineration. "Together, the two men placed a suitcase inside of a burned barrel located behind the home, they doused it with accelerant, lit a fire, and they kept their fire burning from the early afternoon until nightfall," Marbury further said. Marbury revealed that prosecutors granted immunity to the accomplice in exchange for vital information leading to the arrests of Edwards and his family members. Subsequent investigations unveiled a sinister family involvement in the cover-up. Edwards' wife, Brieanna Phillips-Edwards, allegedly aided him by allowing the use of their car for transporting Winston's body.  According to Clayton County police, during the investigation, Edwards was already in jail on an unrelated charge. He was caught on a jail call instructing his wife, Brieanna Phillips-Edwards, to dispose of a pair of shoes and gloves.  Phillips-Edwards is now facing several charges, including being party to the commission of a crime - murder. Additionally, investigators have charged Edward's mother, Ebony Anderson, and his brother, Keilan Wright, with aiding in the destruction of evidence The timeline of events paints a horrifying picture. Winston, a mother of a 4-year-old child with Edwards, was reported missing by her family on April 1. Upon visiting her apartment, they discovered it had been completely cleared out, emanating the smell of bleach. Further inquiry revealed Winston had not shown up for work on March 17. Police intensified their investigation, eventually leading them to Ripley, Tennessee, where they recovered Winston's remains at a cemetery and along a road, approximately 430 miles from the murder scene. Edwards is currently being held at Clayton County Jail on numerous charges, including malice murder, felony murder, concealing death, and tampering with evidence.

Guests: Dr. Jason Snyder and Dr. Jonathan Teague   Some incredible excerpts/statements from Five Lies:   This book is for Christian, especially Christian WOMEN. But still a valuable read for guys - which is why we are tackling this book on T4M   But some of us believe, as I do, that God's design for women determines our roles and our priorities. The Christian family matters, and its neglect is deadly. God's design for women is biologically to bear children - and the greatest calling and responsibility for Christians (men and women) is to train children and raise them in the fear and admonition of the Lord… This will require a sacrifice from both men and women in terms of their priorities and opportunities…   This book [the Bible] offers one simple answer: the world is in chaos, and the church is divided because we have failed to obey God and value his plan for how men and women should live.   The creation of man and woman, also known as the “creation ordinance,” is CENTRAL, not peripheral, to the GOSPEL.   God is holy, and therefore ignorance, iniquity, and ungodliness reflect our sin nature in Adam.   Three “exchanges” of truth for lies in Romans 1:21-28 First there is the exchange of the Creator for the creature, or the exchange of God worship for idol worship Second is the exchange of truth for lies Third comes the exchange of natural sexuality (heterosexuality) or dishonorable passions (homosexuality)   The Five Lies: Lie #1: Homosexuality is normal Lie #1 claims that the word of God doesn't apply to homosexual orientation because homosexual orientation represents a person's core truth But if you exchange the Creator for the creature, you impose God's attributes on man.   Lie #2: Being a spiritual person is kinder than being a biblical Christian.   Lie #3: Feminism is good for the world and the church. In 2023, we cannot even define what a woman is or defend her right to exist   Lie #4: Transgenderism is normal.   Lie #5: Modesty is an outdated burden that serves male dominance and holds women back.   My reason for changing my mind can be stated in two words: Obergefell (as in Obergefell v. Hodges, 2015) and Bostock (as in Bostock v. Clayton County, 2020) Obergefell legalized same-sex marriage Bostock made sexual orientation a protected class   Thomas Watson in The Doctrine of Repentance Recognition of sin Sorrow for sin Confession of sin Shame for sin Hatred for sin Turning from sin   Thomas Watson comments: “Loving of sin is worse than committing it. A goodman may run into a sinful action unawares, but to love sin is desperate…”   After Obergefell and Bostock, LGBTQ+ describes who someone is rather than how someone feels.   T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website.

Press conference with LGBTQ leaders, legal experts, civil rights leaders and student advocates that Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™ attended about the new Title IX rule. The U.S. Department of Education published its final regulatory updates that clarify Title IX protections for LGBTQ students, student survivors of sexual assault and pregnant and parenting students. Consistent with the reasoning of the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark Bostock v. Clayton County decision in 2020 the Department now clarifies that harassment on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or sex characteristics violates Title IX's mandate for federally funded schools to prohibit sex discrimination. In March 2021 President Biden issued Executive Order 14021 beginning the process of undoing the Trump administration's harmful actions undermining Title IX and protections for LGBTQ students and sexual assault survivors. In this virtual press briefing Shiwali Patel, Director of Justice for Student Survivors and Senior Counsel, National Women's Law Center conducted this intimate informative session joined by Brandon Wolf, Human Rights Campaign, National Press Secretary, Olivia Hunt, National Center for Transgender Equality Policy Director, Kenyora Parham, End Rape on Campus CEO, Kel O'Hara, Equal Rights Advocates Senior Attorney, Emily Bach & Andrew Davis who are student organizers with Know Your IX A which is a project of advocates for youth and concluded with Melanie Willingham-Jaggers, GLSEN's Executive Director.  As we celebrate this important milestone to protect our LGBTQ youth there's still much more work to be done. Schools have also been hampered by extremist efforts at the state and local level to target LGBTQ youth especially transgender, nonbinary and gender-expansive youth. This year alone we're already dealing with more than 470 anti-LGBTQ bills introduced in state legislatures nationwide mostly targeting our transgender youth. The new Title IX Ruling also does not protect the rights of transgender athletes to play and be part of a team. Every student including LGBTQ students should have equal access to educational opportunities throughout the entirety of their school experience.

 Brenda Booth was still mourning the loss of her beloved sister, Claudia Marie, when she found out her sister had transferred her home's deed to a private company on April 26, 2022.“Uh, she can't sign a deed three months after she died,” Booth recalled.Families such as Booth's say metro Atlanta law police are not criminally pursuing cases of stolen homes, which is all part of a troubling trend of deed theft in Georgia.Claudia Marie died in 2022 after a long period of declining health. While Booth was preparing for her sister's demise, she could not anticipate what happened afterward.Booth sought the help of probate court attorney Daniel Kalamaro to handle her late sister's assets. Among those assets was a Clayton County home in the unincorporated community of Rex.“It's usually a fairly routine process: gather the assets, gather the debts, identify the creditors and make your disbursements and away you go,” Kalamaro explained. “That did not happen here.”“It's been a doozie.”Read the full story here: https://www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2024/02/12/if-your-home-gets-stolen-will-police-investigate-this-family-says-no/

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for Dec 22nd          Publish Date:  Dec 21st       Commercial: Henssler :15   From the Henssler Financial Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.  Today is Friday, December 22nd and Happy 84th Birthday to actor Jon Voight.  ***12.29.23 - BIRTHDAY - JON VOIGHT*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Engineered Solutions of Georgia Austell Doc Accused of Assault — Again 2 Arrested in Powder Springs Carjacking; Officer Sustains Minor Injuries in Wreck A Home for Christmas Connects Cobb Families to Housing All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: ESOG STORY 1: Austell Doc Accused of Assault — Again Dr. Melvin Gerald Perry, a pediatrician in Austell, has been arrested for the second time in two years, facing charges of felony false imprisonment and misdemeanors including simple assault, criminal trespass, and terroristic threats. According to arrest warrants, Perry allegedly threatened and blocked a female medical worker who was attempting to draw his blood at Kaiser Permanente West Cobb Medical Center. This incident follows a July 2022 arrest when Perry reportedly attacked a paramedic during an argument about care for a child, resulting in charges of assault and property damage. Perry operates Total Care Pediatrics in Austell. STORY 2: 2 Arrested in Powder Springs Carjacking; Officer Sustains Minor Injuries in Wreck A Powder Springs police officer, Lt. Robert Bodron, was involved in a wreck while responding to a carjacking incident involving a vehicle stolen from Clayton County. The car chase ended when the carjacked vehicle entered a backyard due to mud and rain, and the suspects fled. Two suspects, including 17-year-old Destyn Wilson and an unnamed 16-year-old with a stolen handgun, were apprehended. Wilson was caught after a resident reported a suspicious person. The third suspect is still on the run. Lt. Bodron's police cruiser was hit at an intersection, and minor injuries were reported. The Cobb Police Department is investigating the crash. STORY 3: A Home for Christmas: Local Organizations Connect Cobb Families to Housing Ravin O'Bannon and her daughters faced homelessness after she lost her job in 2020. They moved between hotels, friends' homes, and temporary shelters. O'Bannon eventually entered Open Doors' Housing Support Navigation program, which connects housing-insecure households to stable housing. The program aims to help 200 households in the metro Atlanta area within a year. Cobb County has a significant housing insecurity issue, with around 3,000 people considered unhoused or housing unstable. Open Doors serves as a liaison between tenants and leasing agents, reducing approval criteria barriers and supporting tenants to maintain stable housing.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Kay Kirkpatrick and Sen. John Albers. Kirkpatrick's neighbor alerted her to SWAT officers heading for her home, responding to a false call about a hostage situation. The officers found a history of swatting calls associated with the phone number. Albers, who was out of town, learned that Roswell police responded to a swatting call at his home. Other officials, including Sen. Clint Dixon and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, were also swatted. Swatting is a dangerous criminal act that diverts law enforcement resources and poses serious risks. STORY 5:  New Acworth Alderman Wants to Listen and Learn Dr. Toby Carmichael, a veterinarian at Lake City Animal Hospital in Acworth, is set to begin his first term as a member of the Acworth Board of Aldermen in January after winning the At Large Post 1 seat in November. With 20 years of service on the city's planning and zoning commission, Carmichael aims to continue the city's growth while maintaining a high quality of life. He emphasizes the importance of smart growth and infrastructure improvements to support the increasing population. Carmichael's priority is to listen and learn from residents to better understand their needs and contribute positively to the community.

The drive collected non-perishable foods and canned goods throughout November. Pearson Middle School's Fresh Market, overseen by Principal Dean Yoder, serves 80-125 families during each distribution, occurring once a month on the third Saturday from 9 to 11 a.m. The effort by Credit Union of Georgia aimed to contribute to the food pantry's stock and support local families in need. For more information, visit www.CUofGA.org. STORY 7: No. 3: Cobb School Board Map Thrown into Question by Lawsuit In 2023, a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Cobb Board of Education's districts intensified, leading to a federal judge's order for the General Assembly to draw new districts. The lawsuit, initiated in June 2022, alleged racial gerrymandering in the school board map. In December, Judge Eleanor Ross granted a preliminary injunction, preventing future elections with the current map. Ross found it "substantially likely" the map would be deemed unconstitutional and ordered lawmakers to draw a new map by Jan. 10. The school district has appealed, arguing against the racial gerrymander claim, while critics accuse the elections board of collusion.

Today is Wednesday, December 20th and Happy 76th Birthday to TV producer Dick Wolfe. ***12.20.23 – BIRTHDAY – DICK WOLF*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Engineered Solutions of Georgia. Gwinnett Place CID Reports Nearly $16 Billion Economic Impact Gwinnett County Identified as Key 'Decider' County for 2024 Presidential Election by NBC News And Atlanta Man Accused of Trafficking a Disabled Adult Plus, my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on raw milk. All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: ESOG   STORY 1: Gwinnett Place CID Reports Nearly $16 Billion Economic Impact The Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District (CID) in Georgia has reported a substantial economic impact of $15.9 billion, showcasing its role as a significant economic driver in the region. Despite the Gwinnett Place CID occupying less than 1% of Gwinnett County's total land area and the local mall being mostly vacant, the economic impact increased by $2.5 billion in the last three years and $6.4 billion since 2017. The CID contributes 28,688 jobs, accounting for 7% of all jobs in Gwinnett County, with retail, accommodation and food services, and professional services sectors being key contributors. The area is set for major redevelopment, aiming for a "Global Villages"-style transformation.   STORY 2: NBC News names Gwinnett County one of seven key 'Decider' counties in 2024 presidential election NBC News has identified Gwinnett County, Georgia, as one of seven "Decider" counties that will play a pivotal role in determining the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. As part of its "The Deciders" hyperlocal reporting effort, NBC will invest in covering demographic bellwether counties that played crucial roles in the 2020 and 2022 election cycles. With Gwinnett crossing the 1 million residents mark in 2023, it has become a politically significant county, having shifted from a Republican stronghold to being won by Democrats in recent elections. NBC News will deploy nearly three dozen journalists, including correspondent Blayne Alexander, to cover Gwinnett County's political dynamics leading up to the 2024 election.   STORY 3: Atlanta man charged with trafficking of disabled adult Felipe Smith, 24, from Atlanta, has been indicted in Clayton County on charges related to trafficking an adult female with a developmental disability. The defendant allegedly transported and provided the victim for commercial sex acts at various hotels in metro Atlanta, benefiting financially from the sales. The case has a connection to Smith's association with the criminal street gang PDE. Investigated by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's Human Exploitation and Trafficking Unit, the Attorney General's Human Trafficking and Gang Prosecution Units, the case represents an effort to combat human trafficking and gang activity in Georgia. Smith faces multiple charges, including trafficking and violations of the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We'll be right back Break 2: PEGGY SLAPPY – TOM WAGES   STORY 4: C-sections could prevent women from conceiving again: study A new study reveals that women who have had a previous C-section are 10% less likely to conceive again. The research also found a reciprocal link, with women who took over a year to conceive being 21% more likely to deliver via C-section. Additionally, those facing conception difficulties were more prone to develop serious health problems such as high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus. While earlier studies linked reduced fertility after C-section to the surgical procedure, this study suggests that common underlying risk factors may contribute to both reduced fertility and C-section. Maternal stress is proposed as a plausible explanation connecting challenges in conceiving and an elevated risk of labor difficulties, leading to a higher likelihood of C-section.     STORY 5: UGA researcher explores ancient wheat genomes to improve bread wheat diversity A two-year project, the Wheat Diversity Project, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, aims to sequence the genomes of 12 landrace varieties representing the global diversity of bread wheat. Led by the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium, the initiative includes plant genomics expert Robin Buell from the University of Georgia. Landraces, traditional wheat varieties adapted to local conditions, carry genetic diversity with key traits for crop improvement. The project will update the reference genome for bread wheat research and develop a haplotype graph for genomics and breeding research. The information will be publicly accessible for wheat breeding advancements.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: INGLES 9 – DTL   STORY 6: LEAH MCGRATH And now here is my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on raw milk.   STORY 7: LEAH MCGRATH ***LEAH MCGRATH INERVIEW***   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: Henssler 60   Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

Gwinnett County police received information that led them to a home in Clayton County, where the teen was discovered. The home belonged to a man named Russell Cheeves, who now faces charges related to enticing and molesting the girl. Cheeves was arrested, and the teen was reunited with her parents. Gwinnett County officials have charged Cheeves with Enticing a Child for Indecent Purposes and Interference with Custody, while Lake City Police have filed a child molestation charge against him. Another Parkview student, 15-year-old Leila Novljakovic, is still missing, with her last known location being in Atlanta on June 5. Gwinnett police are continuing their search for her.   STORY 2: principals   Felecia Jones, currently an assistant principal at Berkmar Middle School, has been promoted to become the school's new principal. Rukina Walker has been appointed as the new principal at Grayson High School. Allan Gee, the principal at Rock Springs Elementary School, has been promoted to cluster superintendent, and Gregory Johnson, the Deputy Director of Financial Services for the City of St. Augustine, has been hired as Gwinnett County Public Schools' new executive director of budgets, strategy, and risk mitigation.

The budget does not include an increase in the city's millage rate, which means residents will not see a rise in their city taxes unless the assessed value of their property has increased. The majority of the budget increase will go towards salaries, with a 4% overall spending increase. The city also plans to allocate funds for a new bucket truck, street resurfacing projects, and stormwater repairs. The salary raises will particularly benefit public safety officers, with an emphasis on raising starting salaries and increasing personnel numbers in the police department. The city's millage rate will be determined next month, and the budget will take effect in the following month. Residents can access the budget on the city's website……..we'll be right back   Break 2:  Slappey - Tom Wages - then Obits   STORY 4: gallery   Norcross Gallery and Studios, formerly known as Kudzu Art Gallery, is expanding its offerings with new summer programming. The upcoming months will feature a Member's Juried Show, a city-wide photography competition, open studio availability, and a collaboration with the Norcross Branch of the Gwinnett Public Library System. The current exhibition, "Pigments of the Imagination," showcases 29 art pieces by 20 artists and will be on view until July. A reception for the exhibition will be held on June 25. Additionally, the "Life Through the Lens" photography event will take place during the July 4 weekend, inviting participants to capture the life of Norcross. Submissions can be made from July 14-24, and selected photographs will be displayed in the Norcross Gallery and other locations from September 14 to October 31. Story 5: military   The militarization of American law enforcement has been a long-standing trend. In the 1990s, Congress authorized the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), allowing state and local law enforcement agencies to obtain surplus military weapons and equipment from the Department of Defense (DOD). Since then, the DOD has transferred $7.6 billion worth of equipment to law enforcement agencies nationwide. While the equipment is provided for free, agencies are responsible for shipping, maintenance, and storage costs. Nearly all states, except Hawaii, have participated in the program. In Georgia alone, 201 law enforcement agencies acquired surplus military equipment, excluding items deemed "low risk" by the DOD. The total value of equipment received in Georgia amounts to $61,462,743, with the Warner Robins Police Department receiving the largest share at 5.2%.   Story 6:  loeffler   Former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler, who is also the Chairwoman of Greater Georgia, is urging Georgia's Secretary of State and the State Election Board to take immediate action to address a software vulnerability in the state's voting machines before the 2024 election. Unsealed court documents revealed that the Secretary of State was aware of the vulnerabilities since at least July 2021. The Department of Homeland Security also investigated the machines and issued a security advisory, urging states to fix the vulnerabilities promptly. However, the Georgia Secretary of State's office announced last month that it would not install the software patch until after the 2024 election cycle. Loeffler criticized the delay, emphasizing the importance of election integrity and secure infrastructure. Despite the concerns raised, the Secretary of State dismissed calls for an update. Recently, an election server was seized over tampering concerns, and election equipment was stolen from a warehouse……….We'll be back after this   Break 3:  Ingles 5 – Lawrenceville (generic)– GCPS tfn   Story 7:  watson   Ava Grace Watson, a rising senior at Buford High School in Gwinnett County, has committed to playing basketball for Ohio State University. This marks the second consecutive year that Ohio State has secured Gwinnett County's top prospect, with Diana Collins from Brookwood High School also signing with the Buckeyes. Watson, a four-star recruit and ranked 47th nationally by ESPNW, had several other top programs vying for her commitment, including Texas A&M, Florida State, Louisville, and Georgia. She received multiple accolades last season, including all-state, all-metro, all-county, all-region, and MaxPreps All-American honors. The 5-foot-7 guard was named the Region 8-7A Player of the Year, averaging impressive statistics of 24.1 points, 6 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 4.3 steals per game.   Story 8: commits   Jamie Tremble, a rising senior at Wesleyan School, has committed to play football for Syracuse University. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound athlete is considered a four-star recruit in Georgia, ranked 30th by 247Sports. Tremble is versatile, able to play both wide receiver and tight end positions. His older brother Tommy plays tight end for the Carolina Panthers and previously attended Notre Dame, while his father Greg was a former defensive back at the University of Georgia. Tremble had an impressive junior season, earning recognition as the Region 7-3A Offensive Player of the Year and an all-county selection. He recorded 55 receptions for 890 yards and 11 touchdowns, and also contributed on defense with 16 tackles, an interception, and a sack. Additionally, Tremble achieved success in track and field, finishing as the Class 3A state runner-up in the triple jump with a distance of 45 feet, 4 1/2 inches.   We'll have final thoughts after this   Break 4:  Henssler 60 Thanks again for listening to today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.
