STORY 1: Canton Man to Serve 12 Years in Prison for Domestic Abuse of 2 Women

Adam Josef Cromer, a Canton man, received a 35-year sentence, with 12 years to serve in prison, after pleading guilty to domestic violence charges involving two different women. In August 2021, Cromer fired shots at his on-off girlfriend during a dispute near Lake Allatoona, though she was unharmed. Two years later, while out on bond, he assaulted another woman, choking her twice and preventing her from calling 911. Cromer was apprehended the next day. Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney Rachel Ashe prosecuted the case, emphasizing Cromer's violent behavior. Judge Tony Baker imposed the sentence, banning Cromer from Cherokee County and contact with the victims, aiming to protect the community and offer healing to the victims.

STORY 2: Holly Springs Man Convicted of Child Sexual Abuse Sentenced to Life

Bryan Lamar Gay, a Holly Springs man, received a life sentence in prison after being convicted of multiple child sexual abuse charges. Chief Superior Court Judge Ellen McElyea imposed the sentence on May 28 following Gay's conviction on May 16, which included counts of aggravated sexual battery, aggravated child molestation, and child molestation. The investigation by the Holly Springs Police Department and Cherokee Sheriff’s Office began after a middle school student disclosed abuse on January 25, 2023. Testimonies during the trial revealed years of manipulation and abuse within the family. Assistant District Attorney Alana J. Driscoll emphasized Gay's systematic abuse, which shattered trust and harmed innocent children. Despite Gay's attempts to deflect blame during the trial, the jury believed the victim's testimony, leading to the life sentence. District Attorney Susan Treadaway expressed hope that the sentence would bring peace and healing to the victims and prevent future harm to children. Gay must also register as a sex offender and have no contact with the victims.

STORY 3: Georgia Appellate Court Sets October Hearing in Trump's Bid To Disqualify Da Willis

The Georgia Court of Appeals has scheduled former President Donald Trump's appeal in the Georgia election interference case for October, delaying the trial until after the November 5 election. Trump's legal team sought the removal of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the case due to her prior relationship with an attorney involved. Despite a ruling allowing Willis to remain if the attorney stepped down, the trial will likely be postponed. Trump faces charges related to the 2020 election and the January 6 Capitol attack, alongside federal charges and recent convictions in New York City. This delay means only one of the four criminal cases against Trump is likely to be tried before the election.
