Also, before you go freaking out or hating on people, look to see what their offense was and when it happened. I have one living near me. He is 30 years old and was convicted of some indecent activity with a minor.....13 years ago!! So this could mean he was 17 messing around with a girl a few months younger than he was. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to hold that against him.
No it doesn't. I do not understand why people keep repeating this.
Those convicted of statutory rape are not required to register as a sex offender unless they are over the age of 21. The story of some 17yo going to prison and having to register because his girlfriend was 15 are false. It is a story many sex offenders spread to try to gain acceptance because they know many will not take the time to go through public records and find the true story.
....an before anyone mentions Genarlow Wilson. He was actually indited on sodomy and forcible rape (not statutory) because the female was extremely intoxicated which was reportedly showed on the video his friends made. The jury acquitted him of the rape (???) but convicted on the sodomy. The issue there was the severity of the punishment on the sodomy charge.

I would use the one the Sheriff's Office maintains on the link CarolineElizabeth provided above. Many of the 3rd parts sites are hit or miss with accuracy of info.

Okay....you have taken this the wrong way. I did not use the word "just" as a way to dismiss the teachers actions; however, if you remember this particular case the teacher of Hiram High was accused of the samething, possibly was faced with 10+ years in prision ,embarassed his wife and children and lost his job. Then all charges were
dropped and "charged with providing the alcohol to a minor" who was 17.
My point is that once something like this happens, IT IS BLOWED WAY OUT OF PROPORTION in the media and then the damage has been done.
That is why our legal system is so complex. Charges can be dropped for numerous reasons; many of which are not because the DA believes the accused is innocent or wrongly accused. However, we may never have a trial to find out. One thing the providing alcohol to a minor charge shows is he showed extremely bad judgement around minors...does that make you think the other stuff is true...for me it does.

I understand. I just do not think you should be able to go on a county website and search someones name and it pulls up information from ten years ago. Just seems like if you did something in highschool and it is dropped off your recored you should not be able to see it online ten years later. If it is dropped it should be dropped to me.
It is was an arrest it does not 'drop off', it is there for life. If the person is not convicted or they are convicted as a first offender they can have the record expunged and it does not show.

Arrests are public record because the citizens want a more transparent government; hence the Freedom of Information Act. The problem is perception....many people do not understand an arrest is only the start of criminal justice proceedings and it is not punishment. The 'system' is not the problem....its the ignorance of the people viewing it.

Are you kidding me? JUST providing a minor with alcohol? Do you think this is O.K.? What if the child got behind the wheel and accidentally struck your child while trying to drive home? Would it be O.K. then.? There is no JUST or ALCOHOL or FONDLING Get real!!!!!!!!
No doubt...."just providing alcohol to a minor". That is exactly the judgment and conduct I want from someone entrusted with children.

Are you saying that the police take every case reported before a magistrate judge? My understanding and experience is that the police only take the cases before a magistrate judge that they feel they have enough evidence to press charges against a person.... there are many complaints that never make it in front of a magistrate judge...
Nope....when an officer feels they have sufficient proof to show a crime was committed is when a case is submitted to the courts for a decision by a judge. You are correct....many cases never make it to a judge, especially those which lack evidence .
-
I would love for LE to step in here and tell us what the required criteria is for charges like these...
The only criteria for any arrest is probable cause ("a reasonable amount of suspicion, supported by circumstances sufficiently strong to justify a prudent and cautious person's belief that certain facts are probably true").
Law enforcement does not decide if charges are filed. They complete an investigation and take the findings in front of a Magistrate judge who decides if probable cause exists and each element of the crime is addressed. If they find sufficient evidence exists then they will sign a warrant calling for the formal arrest of the suspect. The case is then reviewed by the DA who presents it to the grand jury. The citizens review the case and if they agree probable cause exists they will indite the person and send the case to trial.

I am surprised that is not already a rule. It is never a good idea for anyone to discuss pending legal issues in a public forum. That is law school 101. That same logic should be applied to the representatives of the county if the county is involved in litigation.

We really need to toughen our standards for issuing driving licenses. It is amazing how many people have no clue what the rules of the road are even though it is all in the drivers manual. Idiot drivers are the problem....not the roads, signs or signals.
That light is flashing yellow to let traffic on 278 know they are clear to continue as the light is not operational. If people stop at that they should have their driving license revoked....no tickets just plain revoked. It should not be too much to ask that those who drive understand the responsibility they are undertaking especially when mistakes can cost lives.
-
They could have at least come out and taken a report. that way if there were any other calls regarding the same gentleman---it would strengthen a case.
I LE responded a report was filed. However, if thaT is all that happened it would be for nothing more than suspicious activity until there is more details to investigate.
-
I called the police, but guess what? They didn't do anything.
What do you think they can do since they basically have no information to follow up on?

95% of burglaries happen during the day....that is when the houses are empty.

This county does not have the money to do many of the things Cobb can.

Sorry I don't know the lingo, what is a 10-37?
Just means suspicious.
-
I'm not sure why a detective would have been there
Because a shooting/death investigation is a major incident which is thoroughly investigated. You have to treat a sudden death, particularly one by violent means, as a potential homicide until proven otherwise.

Someone shoot me in the head.........

Runs between Brooks Rd and Old Cartersville Rd.

The main problem is a good portion of this county is still rural. Ambulance services cannot run as many ambulances as they like in rural areas due to finances. There is no way a dedicated unit could remotely pay for itself in some of the remote areas.

Makes one wonder. When the economy was doing good years ago and still had a backlog?????? Think about it!!!
There were several problems which caused the backlog.
For a long time it was lack of Assistant DA's and public defenders to deal with the cases. When that problem was fixed they found they were hampered by a lack of Judges to hear the cases. The state appointed another Superior Court Judge and the problem moved to lack of courtrooms in the old building to hear the cases. Now that that problem has been fixed the county is backtracking because of funding and undoing the first step they took in fixing the problem.

There are several threads on it....

The is NO excuse for leaving a child in a 90 degree car for over 30 minutes. None. Children die from that BS all summer long.

I find it humorous how he flat out lied to the racing fans.

I don't really see any "gray area". If the "replica" has the actual name brand, ie: COACH, printed on it anywhere, it is counterfeit and ILLEGAL. I don't understand how anyone who sells handbags (and even has the word "bags" in their business name), could not know that they were selling counterfeit merchandise. I really don't. I do believe they are probably great people (never met them) but I highly doubt they did not know what they were selling. If they didn't then they should not be selling handbags in the first place.
Exactly....there is a huge difference between selling an item which is similar to other products and selling that item another companies logo on it. It should not be that hard to figure out that is very very wrong.
Just received this in an email

If she 'cried rape' then the only thing she could have claimed was that it was against her will which is a forceable rape...not statutory rape. Statutory rape means she would have admitted she was a willing participant yet the law was broken because she was not old enough to legally give consent. They are even not remotely the same situation.
