The woman Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill is charged with shooting in a Lawrenceville-area model home in May has applied for a job with his office, Channel 2 Action News reported Wednesday.

Hill is scheduled to go before a Gwinnett County grand jury Thursday for the shooting of Gwenevere McCord, a friend. He was charged with a misdemeanor in what McCord's father called a "freak accident."

Hill's attorney Mike Puglise told Channel 2 that McCord had recently completed an employment application with the office, "as any other citizen would be entitled to do."

Puglise said McCord was a criminal justice major, although she was working as a real estate agent at the time. Her career plan has been law enforcement since long before the shooting, he said.

He said he does not believe her application would influence a grand jury.

Legal expert Manny Arora told Channel 2, "If the victim says the defendant shot me, and then goes and asks the defendant for a job, it certainly undermines her credibility, which is not suggesting the victim’s done anything wrong here. Certainly not. It’s just the context of it looks really unusual."

I sure that Sheriff Shorty goes to jail, but he won’t.

Yet the victim in this case never strayed from the story she told paramedics Hill told investigators his service revolver discharged accidentally while he was demonstrating “police tactics” to Gwenevere McCord while the pair were alone inside a model home in a Gwinnett County community the real estate agent was marketing.
