Parents of teen found in gym mat allege time of death manipulated
In a new amended complaint the Kendrick Johnson family alleges Lowndes County officials and law enforcement deliberately misled them about the time of death. The suit targets Brandon and Bran Bell and a Lowndes High student Ryan Hall, claiming a cover up linked to a murder theory despite an earlier finding of accidental death. The case risks roughly 1 million in legal fees as a hearing on fee shifting was due to conclude.

Nelsonville council approves one quarter budget amendment
On January 9 the Nelsonville council suspended first reading of an ordinance to amend the 2017 Appropriations Ordinance and approved its contents to fund the city into the new year. A key item was $37,500 for the Athens County 911 program, with total annual support over $48,000. Budget concerns centered on using loans from water, sewer and street funds to cover prior debts. Auditor Dickerson challenged piecemeal budgeting and warned it disrupts planned funding, urging full-year budgeting. The measure passed 6-0. Council seats for President Kevin Dotson and councilors Koons Taylor and Watkins expire in November, signaling a major election year.
