The court docket it two whole pages long this week and every week, all this money collected for fine, and deputies working for no pay, let me think, money for fine, no pay for the deputies, lets use this money for fines and give the court house a face lift, and make the working people pay a county tax to give the county a park,how uneducated can you get,

in this county its who you know and who you blow. money talks, unfortunately we dont all have $75,000+ to pay our way out. in most cases it dont even matter. this county is so screwed up.

Armed persistent felony offender and a 4th DUI. Hope they have as much money as the "can man" so they can buy their way out! We'll just have to see how the courts handle these. Of course, as of now they are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Does it really matter if they are proven guilty anymore? Probably not in this county.
