BREAK: CU of GA STORY 1: Beloved Marietta Middle School Teacher Dies Marietta Middle School is mourning the loss of 25-year-old computer science teacher Jason Ogbomoh, who passed away. Principal Diona Brown conveyed the news in an email to families, describing Ogbomoh as a beloved teacher who had taught at the school for two years. Brown highlighted his passion for teaching, commitment to students, and significant impact on the community. Ogbomoh's students regarded him as a mentor and role model. The school is providing counseling and support for students and staff during this difficult time, and Brown encouraged open communication with students about their feelings. STORY 2: Wellstar Kennestone Employee Honored for Saving Man's Life Samiya Seid, an environmental services worker at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital, received one of Cintas Corporation's CAPE Awards for saving a man's life during a heart attack. Seid, among the 10 national winners, encountered a distressed woman who led her to a man experiencing a heart attack. Seid promptly contacted the hospital's rapid response team and provided emotional support to the woman while assisting the man. Despite the seriousness of the situation, Seid remained calm and focused. Her actions were credited with helping save the man's life. As part of the honor, Seid's name was displayed on the Nasdaq tower, and she received a monetary award, a plaque, and a housecleaning bucket from Cintas. STORY 3: Planning Commission OKs 91-Home Development Off Sandy Plains Rd. The Cobb Planning Commission approved a 91-home development near Kincaid Elementary School, off Sandy Plains Road, in a 4-1 vote. The 19.5-acre property was originally proposed for 105 units, but the plan was scaled down to address concerns from residents. The development, by Toll Southeast Limited Partnership Company, will feature single-family homes ranging from 2,200 to 3,800 square feet, with an estimated price range of $600,000 to $700,000. The approved rezoning allows for five units per acre. Some residents raised environmental and traffic concerns, with assurances from county staff that a hydrology study would address environmental issues, and a request for a new traffic study during the school session.

The victim advocates' funding, traditionally from grants, is under threat due to a significant cut in the Victims of Crime Act grant from $1.2 million to $130,000. Broady is seeking the county's support to cover nine positions, stating that without county intervention, victims of crime would be deprived of the services they deserve under Georgia Law. Broady is also seeking approval for three new positions at the Cobb Family Advocacy Center.

On this day in history, August 24, 1894, the US Congress passed the first graduated income tax law, 2% on all income over $4,000, which lasted a year before it was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court and overturned. The tax, which was imposed under the Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act, slightly reduced U.S. tariff rates from those set in the 1890 McKinley tariff and imposed a 2% tax on income over $4,000. Named after William L. Wilson and Senator Arthur P. Gorman, both Democrats, it marked the first peacetime income tax, affecting fewer than 1% of households. The income tax was introduced to compensate for revenue lost due to tariff reductions, aligning with the Democratic Party's push away from protectionism. The bill initially lowered tariff rates significantly, but protectionists in the Senate added over 600 amendments, nullifying most reforms. The "Sugar Trust" made changes favoring itself, leading to President Grover Cleveland's denunciation of the revised measure as a disgrace, though he allowed it to become law without his signature. The act was seen as an improvement over the McKinley tariff, despite its controversy. The income tax provision was considered odious by some, but was supported as the lesser of two evils compared to a tariff tax.On April 8, 1895, the Supreme Court ruled that the taxes levied by the Wilson-Gorman Act on income from property were unconstitutional, treating them as direct taxes. Chief Justice Melville Fuller stated that taxes on real estate and the income of real estate, as well as personal property, were direct taxes. The Constitution required that direct taxes be imposed in proportion to the states' population, and the tax in question had not been apportioned, rendering it invalid. The Court did not rule that all income taxes were direct taxes but held that taxes on interest, dividends, and rents had a profound effect on the underlying assets, viewing them as direct taxes. Direct taxes were required to follow the rule of apportionment, dividing the tax collected by the number of members in the House of Representatives and multiplying by each state's representatives to determine each state's share. A separate holding regarding federal taxation of interest on state bonds was later declared "effectively overruled."The dissenting Justices, John Marshall Harlan, Howell Edmunds Jackson, Edward Douglass White, and Henry Billings Brown, strongly disagreed with the majority. Justice White deplored the decision, arguing that it deprived the government of a necessary power of taxation. Justice Brown's dissent emphasized that the decision surrendered the taxing power to the moneyed class, nullifying not only this law but every similar law not based on an "impossible theory of apportionment." POLLOCK v. FARMERS' LOAN & TRUST CO. et al. HYDE v. CONTINENTAL TRUST CO. OF CITY OF NEW YORK et al. | Supreme CourtDollar Tree Inc., one of the largest U.S. retailers, has reached a settlement with the federal government to enhance working and safety conditions at its stores across the country. The agreement requires Dollar Tree to pay $1.35 million to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and implement numerous changes in business practices. Violations included blocked aisles, hazardous work areas, unsafe stacking of boxes, and blocked fire safety equipment. OSHA will close most of its open cases against Dollar Tree, allowing the company to correct some safety issues before inspections. Since 2018, Dollar Tree has been fined $13.1 million for violations found during 360 inspections, with fines escalating due to repeat violations. The settlement aims to address the "root causes" of common violations, with measures including increased safety staff, monitoring compliance, engineering controls, and improved business practices. Dollar Tree will also open a 24-hour hotline for safety concerns and form a committee with workers to address safety issues. The agreement runs until August 2025 and does not call for increased staffing. If OSHA receives a complaint and believes Dollar Tree isn't addressing the issue, the retailer could face a fine of up to $100,000 a day for five days. The settlement follows a similar agreement in 2015 that expired in 2018, which did not lead to systematic changes, and comes as Dollar General Corp., a competitor, also faces OSHA fines.Dollar Tree Reaches Wide-Ranging Safety Settlement With OSHAFormer U.S. President Donald Trump is set to surrender at an Atlanta jail after being indicted in Georgia over his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. The conditions of his $200,000 bond package include standard provisions that bar him from making direct or indirect threats against witnesses or his 18 co-defendants in the case. This also applies to social media posts, including on Trump's platform, Truth Social. Trump is also prohibited from discussing the case with co-defendants or potential witnesses unless lawyers are present. Legal experts believe that judges in Georgia are unlikely to revoke bail over social media posts or inflammatory statements, even as Trump is seeking the Republican nomination for the 2024 U.S. election. Judge Scott McAfee does have the power to jail Trump for egregious acts of witness tampering. Trump has been indicted in three additional cases and has pleaded not guilty in all. His social media postings have been contentious in the Washington case, leading to a protective order barring him from disclosing sensitive evidence and grand jury information. Unlike in Georgia, his bond in other cases do not explicitly restrict his social media posts.Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has ruled that cameras will be allowed in the courtroom for former President Trump's Georgia arraignment, marking the first time one of Trump's criminal proceedings will be televised. The judge granted a request from four local television stations to bring in live cameras and other recording devices through September 8. The Fulton County District Attorney, Fani Willis, is planning to hold the arraignments for all the defendants, including Trump, within that window. The order does not specify whether cameras will be allowed during a trial or any other future proceedings. Trump and 18 co-defendants were charged last week over alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Cameras have been barred from all of Trump's other three criminal cases so far.Trump's bond in Georgia election case: No threats, no jail | ReutersTrump's Georgia arraignment expected to be televised, Fulton County judge says | The HillIn response to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision banning race-conscious admissions at colleges and universities, law schools are modifying their admission essays. The ruling prohibits schools from considering candidates' race in admissions, leading to changes in essay questions to understand candidates' backgrounds without violating the ruling. Law school admission consultant Mike Spivey noted that the process will be less uniform and more time-intensive for applicants. Several schools, including Duke Law School and the University of Texas School of Law, have replaced open-ended diversity statements with specific prompts. Harvard Law School now requires both a "statement of purpose" and a "statement of perspective." Yale Law School offers a choice of four essay prompts, focusing on meaningful communities or changes in perspective. The University of Michigan Law School has updated its supplemental essay prompts to include nine options, aiming to understand the candidates' experiences and perspectives. The changes reflect a broadening interest in contextual information, seen as beneficial for making admissions decisions.Law schools' admission essays revamped after Supreme Court affirmative action ruling | ReutersA former associate at the law firm Kirkland & Ellis, Zoya Kovalenko, has defeated the firm's attempt to dismiss her sex discrimination claims. U.S. District Judge Haywood Gilliam of Oakland, California, maintained most of Kovalenko's bias, retaliation, and defamation case against the firm, although he dismissed most of her claims against individual partners. Kovalenko alleged that she was treated unfairly compared to male associates and was fired in retaliation for her complaints. She also claimed that the firm and its partners overloaded her with work, cutting into her vacation time, while ensuring a male associate had a work-free vacation. Gilliam found that the individual partners could not be held liable under state and federal law, but some will have to face Kovalenko's defamation claims. One partner was dismissed from the lawsuit entirely due to jurisdictional reasons.Ex-Kirkland associate can proceed with sex bias lawsuit against firm - Calif. judge | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe
In Georgia, grand jurors who voted to indict former President Trump and 18 co-defendants on a combined 41 charges under the state's RICO Act are now under siege after their names were publicly listed in the indictment as required by Georgia Law. They've been targeted with threats and a barrage of racist comments online, far-right forums and social media platforms, including the platform formerly known as Twitter, have become a hotbed for such threats, with some users going so far as to post the juror's personal addresses. Fulton County officials, including district attorney Fani Willis, aren't immune. They're receiving violent and racist threats as well. In response, the Fulton County Sheriff's Office, alongside local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, is taking these threats seriously. Natalie Ammons, the communications director for the sheriff's office, emphasized their commitment to responding swiftly to credible threats and ensuring the safety of these participants.

Andrew Langer discusses news and headlines.
Former President Donald Trump has been indicted for a fourth time, now in Fulton County, Georgia, for efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in that state. While the alleged crimes in this case are similar in some ways to his previous federal indictments in special counsel Jack Smith's investigation, there are important differences. First, these are state crimes, based in part on Georgia's racketeering laws, which have historically been applied much more broadly than federal racketeering laws. Second, and relatedly, the core of this case involves an alleged criminal enterprise, which has led to the indictments of 18 other people also involved — in various ways — in trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Third, these being state crimes, the president has no power to pardon or commute a sentence in this case — important when thinking about the possibility of a second term for Trump. And unlike the former president's prior indictments in New York, Florida and Washington, D.C., Georgia allows its court proceedings to be televised. That could be a significant factor in how the public might process the indictment. In this installment of the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast, Galen Druke speaks with a group of Georgia legal experts about what to expect from this case and what makes it distinct from Trump's other legal woes.

Monday on Political Rewind: It is the first day of a new session for the United States Supreme Court and justices will hear a raft of significant cases that hold consequences for Georgia law. A New York gun rights case could decide Georgians' right to carry concealed weapons without a permit, while another case concerning religious liberty could allow state funds to be sent to religious schools. Meanwhile, the justices will consider a Mississippi case that could determine the fate of Georgia's restrictive abortion law. "A year ago, I had said that I did not think that the Roe v. Wade would be overturned," state Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver said. "It would be weakened, but not overturned. Today, I can't say that with any confidence. I think the Supreme Court could be marching towards overturning Roe v. Wade." Meanwhile, polling shows affordable housing is a top priority for voters as they prepare to cast their ballots in the Atlanta mayor's race. But, while most of the candidates signal support for plans to address the issue, experts say it may be a difficult problem to fix. Plus, infighting among Democrats in Washington, D.C., continues to threaten President Joe Biden's economic agenda and could shape the issues headlining in next year's elections. Panelists: Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver — State Representative (D-Decatur) Edward Lindsey — Former GOP state legislator Rene Alegria — CEO, Mundo Hispanico Digital Jim Galloway — Former political columnist, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Alban Brooke comes from a long line of lawyers; his father, grandfather, and great grandfather were lawyers. Alban's legal journey began in construction law, where Alban worked as a runner, then helped a coworker start their own construction firm, and eventually worked as a paralegal. As an attorney, Alban practiced what he knew, which was construction law. However, Alban realized that what he thought being a problem solver, streamlining processes, and ways to make himself invaluable were not traits that he loved about being a lawyer. Those were traits of being a new(er) hire in young companies. This spurred Alban's comments about eventually leaving law. After law school, Alban would frequently tell his entrepreneur friends that he would leave law to work at their tech company. After a couple years, his friends' company was hiring for a head of marketing role. When this job posting was mentioned to Alban, it was official: Alban's bluff was being called. True to his word, Alban decided to stop practicing law to work for Buzzsprout. Buzzsprout is a podcast hosting company and Alban is in charge of technology, marketing, and researching software developments, among other tasks.At Buzzsprout, Alban insists that every day looks different, with the exception of discussing podcasts, creating content (podcasts or YouTube videos) about podcasts and pushing the business forward. While at Buzzsprout, Alban is unable to directly use many of the skills he learned in law school, but Alban's legal education indirectly is present in many of his decisions and actions. Alban credits law school with teaching him to over prepare for meetings, training his editing skills to review an email three times before sending it out, and allowing Alban to enjoy the freedom to find assignments that suit him.

This is a complete lie and we would argue it doesn't go far enough in securing our elections.
Special guests ROBERT PATILLO, host of Atlanta's the People Passion and Politics talk show, along with SHELLEY WYNTERS, co-host of Word On The Street talk show drop by to debate the purpose of the new GEORGIA VOTING LAW. The law has caused quite an uproar nationwide as the DEMOCRATS and LIBERALS liken the changes to the laws used to suppress the BLACK VOTE during JIM CROW, and MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL responded by moving its ALL STAR GAME from GEORGIA to COLORADO. Georgia's GOVERNOR KEMP responded by stating these laws increase the opportunities to vote and suggested the MLB incorrectly moved the ALL STAR GAME to COLORADO, a state with the same voting laws as the new GEORGIA LAW. Why change the law now? What is the actual goal of the law? Of all issues why isn't VOTING a BIPARTISAN issue in the 1st place? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask.

President Joe Biden called a new Georgia law that imposes voting restrictions “Jim Crow in the 21st century” and an “atrocity.” When asked if there was anything the White House could do to protect voting rights in Georgia, the President said “the Justice Department is taking a look.” Democratic Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms tells AC360 we have to “bring people to the polls to stand up for those votes suppressed.” Plus, in an exclusive interview, former CDC director Robert Redfield said he believes Covid-19 came from a Chinese lab but didn’t provide any evidence. Dr. Sanjay Gupta joins AC360 to discuss Redfield’s comments and whether or not he thinks his theory could be correct.

President Joe Biden says that the Justice Department is looking at the new Georgia Law that restricts voting. Biden slams the new Georgia law, saying that it is a "blatant attack" on the constitution and "Jim Crow in the 21st century" that "must end." Civil Rights groups are now suing over the sweeping limits on Georgia voter access. The law includes a ban on giving food and water to voters in line. Biden calls the new restrictions "an atrocity." The White House is deeply concerned about the Georgia lawmaker that was arrested for protesting as the Georgia governor signed the voting restrictions bill. Former President Donald Trump praises the new Georgia voting restrictions and says, "too bad these changes could not have been done sooner." Senate Democrats and Republicans are at odds over the major voting rights bill as Biden blasts the voter suppression moves as "un-American."

In this week's episode, Attorney Rosensweig is discussing citizen's arrest laws and how they relate to the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, the young man who was jogging through a quiet, Georgia neighborhood when he was savagely gunned down by a father and son. Can Gregory and Travis McMichael successfully argue that the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery was lawful by asserting that what they did was further to a lawful citizen's arrest? Is there any way they can prove that what they did met Georgia's citizen's arrest statute? Even if, hypothetically, Ahmaud Arbery was actually running away after committing a crime, did they comply with the law in terms of what they did once they stopped him? Does the law allow a civilian to not just stop someone but kill them? Ms. Rosensweig explains the citizen's arrest law in terms of when it is lawful to "arrest" a person and, more importantly, what it allows someone to do once making a citizen's arrest. Ms. Rosensweig also talks about the dangers in keeping citizen's arrest laws on the books and how these laws have been used by people to commit heinous and often racially motivated crimes.

Interested in becoming a public defender? Appointed to represent those who cannot afford an attorney, public defenders play an essential role in the criminal justice system. Oft-romanticized in television shows and in movies, public defense is a complex field that bears little resemblance to its glamorous portrayals crafted by Hollywood execs. In this episode, former public defender and University of Georgia Law alumna Laurie Landsittel gives us valuable insight into the day-to-day duties of public defenders. What are the different types of public defenders? What is the typical caseload for attorneys in this field, and how often can public defenders expect their cases to go to trial? Laurie also discusses some of her personal experiences working as a public defender, such as her biggest challenges representing defendants that had committed serious crimes, as well as the time that she helped a teenage girl get out of jail and back on her feet. "That is what public defenders do," Laurie tells us. "If you want to help, it’s never ending." This week's show is hosted by Derek Tokaz, LST's research director.
