From the Ingles Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Friday, November 22nd and I'm Keith Ippolito.

Body Cam Footage, Testimony in Third Day of Kennesaw Fatal DUI Trial

In the trial of Jerome “Jerry” Cox, accused of fatally hitting 17-year-old Olivia Pugh while allegedly driving drunk, testimony continued with police body camera footage shown to jurors. The footage captured the aftermath of the crash, including Pugh being loaded into an ambulance. Cox, 69, has pleaded not guilty to vehicular homicide and DUI charges. Testimonies included those from responding officers, passengers in Cox's car, and a bystander. Officer Steven Oney testified about smelling alcohol on Cox, who admitted to drinking. The defense questioned the reliability of the officers' testimonies and the handling of evidence. Disputes arose over whether Pugh was in a crosswalk when struck. The defense also attempted to introduce evidence about post-crash safety improvements, which was disallowed. Witnesses from a party Cox attended earlier testified about his drinking, with none believing he was drunk. The trial is set to continue, with a potential break for Thanksgiving.

BREAK: CU of GA (06.26.24 CU OF GA FREE CHECKING_REV_FINAL) 

STORY 1:  Rose Diggs Named 2024 Smyrna Citizen of the Year

Rose Diggs, CEO of Down 7 Up 8 Incorporated, has been named Smyrna Citizen of the Year by the Smyrna Area Council of the Cobb Chamber of Commerce. Over 13 years, Diggs has significantly impacted foster care, fostering over 300 children and providing free virtual tutoring to over 700 in Georgia. Her nonprofit supports fostered, adopted, and underprivileged children with school supplies, Christmas gifts, and parent training. Her advocacy has influenced policy changes at state and national levels. Diggs has held key roles in foster care organizations and received multiple awards for her contributions, including the Hero Award from AmeriGroup. 

STORY 2:  Judge Murphy Appoints 3 to Cobb Magistrate Bench

Chief Magistrate Judge Brendan Murphy has appointed Norman Barnett and Mellori Lumpkin-Dawson, and re-appointed Judge Jennifer Inmon as full-time Magistrate judges. Selected through a competitive process, they bring strong legal expertise and dedication to service. The Magistrate Court, operating 24/7, handles a heavy caseload, focusing on access to justice. Barnett, an assistant U.S. attorney, and Lumpkin-Dawson, a skilled litigator, both express commitment to serving Cobb County. Inmon, with 25 years on the bench, continues her role, praised for her leadership and experience. All appointees are active in their communities and legal professions. 



STORY 3:  Allatoona High Threatened Two Days in a Row, District Says

Allatoona High School faced violent threats on consecutive days, prompting a code red alarm on Wednesday. The Cobb County School District confirmed the threats were not credible after investigation. Since a shooting at Apalachee High School in September, the district has experienced numerous false threats and "swatting" incidents. The district emphasized its commitment to safety and intends to prosecute those responsible for such disruptions. Despite these incidents, the school remains secure, with students and staff focused on education. For more safety information, visit the district's website.

STORY 4:  Friends, Witnesses Testify About Crash that Killed Kennesaw Teen

In Marietta, the trial of Jerome Lee Cox, accused of killing 17-year-old Olivia Pugh in a DUI incident, continued with testimonies from Pugh's friends and bystanders. Cox allegedly hit Pugh with his vehicle after drinking at a holiday party. Pugh, a senior at Harrison High School, died two days later. The trial, overseen by Judge Kimberly Childs, began with opening statements and witness testimonies, including friends who were with Pugh and bystanders who assisted at the scene. A deleted TikTok video filmed by the girls that night became a point of contention, with the defense arguing it could have shown the girls were distracted. The trial is set to continue. 

STORY 5:  Cobb Considering New Library Director as Longtime Leader Retires

After 15 years as Director of the Cobb County Public Library System, Helen Poyer is retiring. Poyer, who began her career in Cobb in 2006 and became director in 2009, has overseen significant outreach programs and led the system to be named 2023 Library of the Year. Her leadership is credited to her dedicated 270-person staff. The Cobb County Board of Commissioners will vote on her replacement, with Chairwoman Lisa Cupid proposing Keith Schuermann, a veteran librarian with extensive experience, including leading the Troup-Harris Library System. If approved, Schuermann will start on December 2.

In Split Vote, Cobb Denies Student Housing Tower

The Cobb Board of Commissioners voted 3-2 to deny Landmark Properties' proposal for a five-story student housing building near Kennesaw State University. The project, named The Standard, was to include 191 units and 643 bedrooms. Despite reducing the number of beds from 761 to 643 to address density concerns, the proposal faced opposition due to potential impacts on traffic, property values, and increased density. Chair Lisa Cupid and Commissioner Monique Sheffield opposed the denial, citing the need for student housing and the university's contribution to the community. Concerns were raised about the lack of student and parent voices in discussions, and the potential for increased crime was debated. The project was seen as a solution to the housing shortage for students, but ultimately, the board decided the location was unsuitable. Commissioner Jerica Richardson led the motion to deny, emphasizing unresolved issues related to property value and traffic.
