    Let’s presume there will be a civil suit in the Augusta County officer-involved shooting

    Augusta County Commonwealth’s Attorney Tim Martin, in the matter of the Dec. 17 officer-involved shooting of Dustin Griffin, is acting more like a defense and civil attorney for the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office than he is presenting as an elected prosecutor representing the people of Augusta County.

    Dustin Griffin shooting case: More questions than answers

    Fair or not, we can’t take the Augusta County criminal-justice apparatus at its word that there’s no there there with respect to the shooting of Dustin Griffin, 42, by two sheriff’s deputies on the night of Dec. 17. In this podcast, I go over where we are with the investigation, which is still ongoing, even as the Commonwealth’s Attorney, Tim Martin, has already decided to exonerate the deputies who shot and killed Griffin as they attempted to serve an arrest warrant at a location west of Staunton.

    UVA Basketball: Bully ball doesn’t work if you let the other guys be the bullies

    Solid email this morning from Alan, regular reader, on the Tech-UVA game, the kind of good that got me to think through what we know, to this point, in Year 1 of Ryan Odom, about our new-look UVA Basketball program. The key points from Alan: We were bullied, even taking into account the whistle swallowing. If we’re not gonna run a scheme like the Pack Line, better brainstorm fast how we’re going to get stops in league play.

    Readers think J’Mari Taylor should have risked injury to entertain them

    Shocker, right, that I got emails from a trove of White guys who think a young Black man named J’Mari Taylor should consider it a privilege to entertain them. How dare the kid prioritize his future earning potential when our favorite college football team needed him out there to win an exhibition game. That, you know, they won anyway, without him.

    Reggie Harris: Two-sport legend at Waynesboro High School

    Two years after graduating from Waynesboro High School, Reggie Harris was taken by the Oakland A’s in the 1989 Rule 5 draft, and he made the team – the defending World Series champs – out of spring training in 1990. “I’m just watching the previous World Series that year, in ’89, the earthquake series with San Francisco, and two weeks later, I’m on that team,” said Harris, who joined me to talk about his baseball career on the “Street Knowledge” podcast this week.

    DJ Andrew Hypes, fresh off tour with Justin Timberlake, hasn’t forgotten his hometown

    Andrew Hypes has spent the last two years travelling all over the world: Paris, London Romania, Vegas, Poland and California, to name a few. After growing up in Waynesboro, Virginia, population 23K, it’s a little surreal: working in Dr. Dre’s studio, flying on private planes, standing in front of the Eiffel Tower – the real one, not the one at Kings Dominion – all stemming from his role as the official DJ for Justin Timberlake’s recently wrapped “The Forget Tomorrow World Tour.”
