I saw this on a local news website and thought I'd share, be sure to check out the photo slideshow.

That's pretty scary.

While I was there, I checked out another story linked from that page:

My one question: do you have misdemeanor murder in Georgia?

Here's a paragraph from something I found that may answer your question.

"What's troubling about the situation though is that she was charged with felony murder for the death of the baby, as opposed to manslaughter or even murder itself. Regular murder generally requires an intent to cause a death. Felony murder is an equivalent murder charge in severity, but instead of requiring the intent to cause a particular death, it applies when there was intent to commit another felony that ended up resulting in that death. A typical example would be a bank robbery during which a bystander dies. The bank robber may not have intended to cause that death, but because he intended to commit the felony of bank robbery he is just as liable for the collateral death as if he had intended to cause it directly."

Here's the whole story. http://www.cathygellis.com/mt/archives/000827.html

Sad, Milton has been having some issues since it become a city.

I usually park my cars in the garage, haters and nutballs are everywhere. I hope they are caught.

Common decency has been thrown out the window in many areas in and around Atlanta.
