Ivey deserves to have trial here, sentenced to work on park/monument

Oconee County business man and one time Georgia GOP honcho Jim Ivey is employing a new attorney and strategy in his indefensible crime of embezzling money from the Veterans Fund for a memorial at the new Oconee County Community Complex across from Herman C. Michael Park. According to this story in the ABH (registration required) the new lawyer Kim Stephens wants to move the trial out of county because he could not receive a fair trial locally. If anything, he would receive a more fair and balanced trial here because some local people know this man, know what he stands for, knowns how he lived way beyond his means. District Attorney Ken Mauldin and Defense Attorney Stephens would try to strike jurors who did not subscribe to a particular political philosophy, in my amateur attorney attempt at prophesy of a trial that may or may not start around Thanksgiving. I give thanks that Mauldin stopped the shut down of the Sexual Assault Center here, took the time to get the case worked well against Ivey, and hopes he can get Ivey sentenced to having to chip way with a pickaxe at the $400,00.00 "unexpected bedrock" impeding my son from playing soccer at the new park this fall. I think it would be sweet justice to have Ivey working on this public embarrassment. Should we have a peace monument where the two big slabs of rock are stopping the park?

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
