    The commissioners need to be replaced by now anyway. Look at the way the county has been handled the past few years! 83 and still on the board? Plus he’s a dirty old man! He needs to be charged to the highest extent. He’s representing Effingham and we’re supposed to be better than that! What a shame.

    My son set in Screven County Jail for one year and mine months awaiting bond. Then another year and a half for trial. Trust this judicial circuit? I think not!!!!
