Special court session urged for Morrow county crime case
District Attorney Phelps and Circuit Judge Bean clash over holiday adjournments and the need for a special term to clear Morrow county business.

George Webb's murder case looms as the key issue, with arguments about jeopardy and proper court timing surfacing amid a statewide holiday pause.
