STORY 5: Buford man convicted of molesting 7-year-old stepdaughter, child's mother found guilty of trying to cover it up A Buford man, Javen Tyree Richardson, was convicted of molesting his 7-year-old stepdaughter and sentenced to two consecutive life terms, with 80 years to be served in prison. The child’s mother, Akilah Amin, was convicted of coercing her daughter to lie to investigators and sentenced to 20 years, with seven years in prison. Both are barred from contacting the child or her siblings and must register as sex offenders. The abuse, reported by the child at school, occurred in 2022-2023, with Amin offering bribes to silence her daughter, causing further emotional harm. Break 3: STORY 6: Rich McCormick touts extending Trump tax cuts U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick announced that extending Trump-era tax cuts, set to expire this year, will be Congress's top priority after the Easter recess. Speaking to North Fulton business owners, McCormick highlighted the economic benefits of the cuts, while addressing concerns over tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and uncertainty in trade with China. He emphasized the need to maintain the 21% corporate tax rate but acknowledged challenges in funding promises like removing taxes on tips and Social Security. Democrats oppose the extension, citing benefits for the wealthy and risks to social programs, which McCormick dismissed as "scare tactics." STORY 7: Federal judge weighing whether to extend order protecting international students whose visitor status was revoked A federal judge in Atlanta, Victoria Marie Calvert, will decide by month's end whether to extend the visitor status of 133 current and former college students whose status was suddenly revoked without explanation. Calvert issued a temporary restraining order restoring their status, but it expires May 1. The students' lawyer, Charles Kuck, argues the Department of Homeland Security violated its own rules, while the government seeks tailored injunctions based on individual expiration dates. This case, potentially the largest of its kind, reflects a growing trend of legal challenges, with judges nationwide issuing 17 similar restraining orders.

Dan O'Dwyer, the founder of O'Dwyer Homes, joins the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast as part of the Legends of Real Estate series. O'Dwyer chats with host Carol Morgan about his decades of experience in the home building industry, working through the Great Recession and his involvement in the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association (HBA). Known as the kid in his childhood neighborhood that built the most excellent playhouses, O'Dwyer has always had a passion for construction. O'Dwyer was part of one of the country's earliest building construction management programs at Michigan State University earning a degree in construction. O'Dwyer said, “I remember carpenters working on my folk's home when I was 12 years old and telling them, ‘I want to do what you do.'” Meeting in the eighth grade and becoming college sweethearts, O'Dwyer's wife Kathy serves as his right-hand and an essential part of the O'Dwyer Homes. Kathy is head of marketing and model homes at the home building company, taking on virtually any responsibility around the office. O'Dwyer said, “It's been marital bliss… Kathy's been an integral part of the company since the beginning!” After graduating in 1981, O'Dwyer was challenged by a recession at the start of his career. With a significant shortage in construction work in Michigan, O'Dwyer transferred to Cincinnati, then to Northern Virginia, and finally landed in Atlanta in 1987 – where he has resided ever since! O'Dwyer describes home building and construction work in Atlanta during the late 1980s and early 1990s as a free-for-all. Working for UDC Homes from 1987 to 1991, O'Dwyer and the company team sold whatever they could build at the time. O'Dwyer said, “Home building in Atlanta during the recession was like the wild west!” Working in several areas in the construction industry, the legend is a jack of all trades! O'Dwyer has experience in remodeling, carpentry, framing, sales, building and production. O'Dwyer witnessed many homes come to life during the late 1980s in Atlanta. The most popular plan during this time was the traditional, two-story home boasting brick, siding and stucco exteriors. The home builder worked around metro Atlanta, including subdivisions in Kennesaw, Stone Mountain and North Fulton. O'Dwyer said, “We were selling 2,500 to 3,000 square foot homes for $200,000 to $300,000…that was a screaming deal!” After working with many top builders and finding himself out of a job towards the end of the Great Recession, O'Dwyer started O'Dwyer Homes in 1992 with a little money and financing for three homes. Within the first year, the company completed 23 homes. From the 1990s to the early 2000s, home builders were selling homes at an incredible pace! Working with Wade Johnson on several O'Dwyer Homes communities, O'Dwyer and his team rapidly sold subdivision after subdivision – selling over 200 houses annually. O'Dwyer said, “Building in the 1990s and early 2000s was crazy but a lot of fun… I've made lots of good friendships and wonderful contacts over the years.” O'Dwyer mentions his gratitude for the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association (GAHBA) and how much the organization has impacted his life and career. From educational benefits to networking to leadership opportunities, the GAHBA is a wonderful tool for homebuilding and real estate workers to grow personally and professionally. O'Dwyer serves as a life director on the HBA board and encourages his employees to attend meetings and events. O'Dwyer said, “Our philosophy as a company is to always try to give back.” The legend of real estate is also a two-term president of HomeAid Atlanta, the designated charity of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association. Building shelters and resource centers for homeless women, children and veterans, HomeAid Atlanta is a great initiative to give back to the community. O'Dwyer said, “HomeAid Atlanta is a great organization to be a part of.”
