The first session of the Butts County Court opened with Judge F Z Curry presiding. He outlined aims for a clean, efficient court funded by salary rather than fees, urged bar support, and warned against turning the court into a detective bureau while pledging to base sentences on case facts, with outcomes including public works or fines as appropriate.
