GDP Script/ Top Stories for May 15th        Publish Date:  May 15th        From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Wednesday, May 15th, and Happy 70th Birthday to MLB HOF George Brett. ***05.15.24 – BIRTHDAY – GEORGE BRETT*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Ohio man convicted of molesting 8-year-old girl Cocaine trafficker sentenced to life in prison Gwinnett's judicial candidates weigh in on the court system's biggest challenges Plus, my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on diabetes. 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: MOG   STORY 1: Ohio man convicted of molesting 8-year-old girl In 2019, Kevin McKenna, a 66-year-old Ohio man, molested an 8-year-old girl in Lawrenceville and Loganville, Georgia, multiple times. Last week, a jury convicted him on charges including aggravated sexual battery and child molestation. He received a life sentence plus 20 years and will be registered as a sex offender for life. Gwinnett County District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson condemned his actions, emphasizing the trauma inflicted on the victim and the relentless pursuit of justice by the Special Victims Unit. The victim reported the crimes in 2021, detailing instances where McKenna touched her inappropriately and attempted sexual contact. STORY 2: Cocaine trafficker sentenced to life in prison Glenn Smithson, aged 52, was recently convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole for trafficking cocaine in Gwinnett County for over three decades. The conviction followed a bench trial where he confessed to his involvement in trafficking drugs investigated in 2021. Prosecutors highlighted the efforts of law enforcement, particularly the Gwinnett County Police Narcotics Unit, in dismantling his criminal operation. Investigations revealed Smithson's activities through wiretaps and surveillance, leading to his arrest after a traffic stop where cocaine was found in his possession. This sentencing marks the end of a long history of drug-related convictions spanning 30 years. District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson emphasized the community's safety with Smithson behind bars. STORY 3: Gwinnett's judicial candidates weigh in on the court system's challenges In Gwinnett County's upcoming judicial races, candidates address pressing issues such as mental health in court proceedings and fairness in treatment. State Court Judge Shawn Bratton emphasizes civility and respect in the diverse community, while Deputy District Attorney Ramona Toole highlights the need to tackle case backlogs through proactive scheduling. In the Superior Court races, candidates stress equality and individualized approaches to justice. Juvenile Court Judge Rodney Harris advocates for equal treatment regardless of representation, while Magistrate Judge Kimberly Gallant supports treatment courts for accountability and recovery. In the race to replace retiring judges, candidates prioritize mental health support for defendants, with B. Thassanee "BT" Gutter-Parker proposing a comprehensive safety plan, Regina Matthews advocating for continued accountability court programs, and Tuwanda Rush Williams emphasizing intervention plans over incarceration for those with mental health diagnoses. Voters can explore detailed candidate responses on gwinnettdailypost.com. 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: TOM WAGES STORY 4: Georgia prison inmate pleads guilty in meth conspiracy Christopher David Johnson, aged 46, has pleaded guilty to leading a methamphetamine conspiracy while incarcerated in a Georgia prison. He faces a minimum of 15 years to life in prison for distributing over 500 grams of meth. Johnson orchestrated the operation using multiple cellphones from prison, coordinating with accomplices through Facebook and text messages. His co-conspirator, Michael Paul Brown, was recently sentenced to 15 years for his involvement. The state budget includes $10.7 million for prison technology upgrades to prevent contraband smuggling. The U.S. DEA and law enforcement agencies from Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia investigated Johnson's case, with his guilty plea entered in federal court in Abingdon, Virginia. STORY 5: Emergency hearing on Mulberry cityhood referendum set for Thursday An emergency hearing has been scheduled by a Gwinnett Superior Court judge regarding a lawsuit aimed at halting the Mulberry cityhood referendum on the May 21 ballot. Filed by retiree Stephen Hughes, the lawsuit contends that key aspects of the proposed city's charter are unconstitutional, including limitations on property tax collection and specified city services. Hughes' attorney argues that the referendum would deceive voters, as the proposed city's structure faces legal challenges. Supporters of Mulberry cityhood, such as Georgia House Majority Leader Chuck Efstration, denounce the lawsuit, alleging it is driven by special interest groups, possibly developers opposing the proposal. Citizens For Mulberry President Michael Coker maintains that cityhood enjoys community support and anticipates its passage, dismissing the lawsuit as a last-minute attempt to derail the referendum. We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: INGLES  10   STORY 6: LEAH MCGRATH And now here is my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on diabetes.   STORY 7: LEAH MCGRATH ***LEAH MCGRATH INERVIEW***   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: SCANDRETT Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Recommendations: Eamonn: Dublin Narcos The new three-part docu-series tells the story of how Dublin transformed from a recession-blighted city in the 1980's to a growing metropolis in the 1990's. As its fortune changed, so too did its criminals. They spotted new opportunities. Those opportunities were sourcing and selling a succession of illegal substances – heroin, ecstasy and cocaine. As these drugs exploded in popularity, they came to redefine life and crime in Ireland, making millions for some, while fuelling a rise in addiction, violence and organised crime for many others.  https://www.skygroup.sky/article/-watch-official-trailer-for-sky-original-dublin-narcos-set-to-broadcast-on-sky-documentaries-this-march-  Kevin: The Stones and Brian Jones A look at the relationships and rivalries within The Rolling Stones in their formative years, as well as the creative musical genius of Brian Jones, key to the success of the band. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001m0sm  Steeltown Murders As the CID reopen an investigation into three murders from 1973, DCI Paul Bethell tries to piece together a past that has haunted both him and a community for almost 30 years.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0fhkqgc/steeltown-murders-series-1-episode-1  Stuart: Thomas Crown Affair (1968) Steve McQueen stars as a sophisticated but bored tycoon who pulls off a bank heist so stunning that even Boston's finest are baffled.

Perhaps you have more to add!   A fun show to get us fully cranked up for the start of the season!
