A shortage? The same article says Barnes brought extra security into the courtroom. Gotta wonder why that extra security wasn't assigned to the prisoner.
Perps lawyer said the beefed up security consisted of one additional (female) deputy.
Boy! For a shortage they sure had plenty of them standing around yesterday! I rarely saw a shot where there weren't 4 or 5 deputies bunched together consoling each other while this guy probably walked right past them!!!
Atlanta learned nothing from the fiasco surrounding the "day trader" mass murders just a few years ago. And Atlanta won't be learning anything now, either. They will never give up their corrupt preferential patronage system in that town, even if it means every inhabitant gets murdered and every perpetrator escapes.
