GUILTY GA - Tara Baker, 23, Athens, 19 Jan 2001 *Arrest 2024*

[Weki]

Judge threw the whole law library at defendant! Two life sentences + 2-3 consecutive sentences equalling 45 years.

Defendant and his attorney were chatting and acting unbothered. Wow. So innocent and so unbothered! The injustice! LOL

Does Chris Melton get charged for lying about his alibi for 23 years to police?

Watching the sentencing now and defense lied to the court and said they never got notice that the state was going to use prior convictions in its sentencing argument. When the prosecutor corrected him and said they had provided notice, the defense asked the judge to review the record (why isn't he reviewing the record to ascertain? It's not the judge's job!). Judge was ready though! She's used to this defense lawyer's games and she said she had reviewed the record and the state is correct. And he had to shut his mouth and sit down.

A few minutes later he got back up and argued again that there's a specific timeline for the notice that the state failed to meet in their updated notice and got overruled again!

Why are you focusing more on the defense lawyer than you are on the facts of the case? Who cares what the defense lawyer says. I mean yeah the uppity black guy I guess really enrages people. How about thinking about the mislabeled swabs? How about thinking about why didn't they test for Edward Fausts DNA 23 years ago? Why don't you think about why Tara Baker's DNA didn't show up on her own swabs? Why don't you think about how did police let Chris Melton get away with lying about his alibi for 23 years? You know those are the important things to think about. Not, wow, that black attorney has a snippy attitude.
