Looking up Clayton County court records, he had two charges of child cruelty in 2022. One in February - a felony - and one in October.
Both cases were disposed, but I'm not seeing if he was found guilty, not guilty, or anything.
I don't feel good about this at all.
IMO.
Thanks for that. Georgia court records are NOT user friendly. Search:GA which is supposed to have all cases didnn't show those at all. Other counties yes, but not these cases.
https://researchga.tylerhost.net/CourtRecordsSearch/#!/search?q=Antonio Pearce. There WAS a paternity case for an Antonio P. in Lowndes county in 2010 but no middle name so I couldn't be certain it was the suspect.
This isn't the first time cases failed to show up with that particular court record database even if searching by a specific county, so thank you again for finding this!
The county records had details of outcome, sentencing, probation, etc. Given the timeline, the child involved would not be the missintg baby as it was 2022. Did he have custody? Did he LOSE custody or parental rights?
