Wallet gun case leads to temper counseling in Aiken court
Bradberry kept a small wallet gun for protection at his Whiskey Road jewelry store and denied intent to harm Mrs. Bradberry. Judge Peeples ordered temper counseling and Bradberry was remanded to the Aiken County Detention Center. Also a Georgia man, John Roderick McKinnon, 45, Hepzibah, Ga., was acquitted by a 12‑member jury of criminal sexual conduct against a Jackson woman. The accuser testified of an attempted assault at about 3:10 am, while McKinnon claimed he visited the home earlier to show his Cadillac. Solicitor Barbara R. Morgan led the case. Public Defender William Yarborough defended McKinnon. In a separate trial, Glenn Gallman, 20, was found guilty of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature against another inmate at the Detention Center after a dispute over a TV channel. He was treated and released from HCA Aiken Regional Medical Centers for eye injuries.
