Judge it!Andy had led a double life for a long time. Sorry, but only someone who has seen both sides would comprehend this; even if it is unimaginable.<quoted text>Just proves you DON'T know Andy. I'm not saying he's not guilty, but that decision is for a court of law.

Just because something is printed doesn't mean it's true. Look at everything that has been said here, do you honestly believe all this? |

I never said that. He was charged with the crime and his name did appear in the paper. It was commented that he liked publicity and you said it was for the court to decide. You just got it wrong. Noone said anything in that particular instance about guilt or innocence. Verdict was not the issue. Study more carefully next time. |
|||
|
Of course because of so much publicity, they aren't going to report much on him now. They are keeping as much as possible out of the news. I pray for everyone effected by this ordeal though.

Justice for Youth, I don't really know what you mean by your comment above. Unless you want someone to dig up tabloid-style "dirt" on the guy, there's not a whole lot to be reported right now.
He's been arrested and arraigned. Next up is the grand jury--but that could take months if not years. Really, what are you expecting to be reported? |
||||
Years? Why would it take so long? Does that mean our school district gets to keep paying him while he is not even working? |
||||

Yes eyes, all you have to do is read the George County Times to see that it often takes several years to fully prosecute a felony case such as this one. Look for when they publish the Circuit Court docket; you will see case numbers with 2006 and 2007 on them.
There is a process that has to be followed with felony cases. After a suspect's arraignment, the prosecution will assemble a "Grand Jury Packet" to present to the grand jury. Meanwhile, the case is scheduled for an upcoming Circuit Court session, which only occurs 3-4 times a year--we share judges and DAs with other counties. Also, a jury has to be selected to hear the merits of the case--and we all know that no one wants to be stuck with jury duty anymore. Once a case is scheduled and a jury is assembled, the case is presented to them, where they either "true bill" it (decide to send it to an actual grand jury trial) or "no bill" it (drop the case). If this jury true bills the case, it is then scheduled for trial at another upcoming Circuit Court session. At this point, a suspect can accept a plea bargain and avoid a jury trial. Now, that's doesn't include all of the continuances that can occur for any number of reasons. So now you see that it can take quite a while before a suspect is actually tried for that which he is accused of. As for the school board continuing to pay Brantley; I don't know. I assume there is language in the employment agreement that would limit how long an employee can be on administrative leave, and how long he/she would be paid. |
||||
Well, of course I don't mean that. What I am getting at I suppose is that, they can find someone who has gotten in trouble for murder, or some drug bust, and we keep hearing about it on the news. But with this case it got quite. You don't have to be so rude. |
||||

I see you all are still arguing about this issue, and like I stated some days ago, justice can take a long time. If and when he is indicted on this crime and is scheduled to appear in court that doesn't mean he will be sentenced that day, it make take 2 years for him to be sentenced. Thats America!!!
|

|
Justice, I'm sorry if I was rude. That was not my intent.
There may be other things that come out in the meantime on Brantley. If it involves minors, however, we won't hear much about it, as juvenile protections will keep a lot of details out of the news. |

out on 25,000 bomd look at this http://www.wlox.com/global/story.asp... a 23 year sheriff deputy bond set at 1 million
|
||||
Wow. Just wow. I am speechless.I really just don't understamd our county. |
||||
|
While I agree that this guy's bond is low for the type of crime he has been accused of, the 8th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits excessive bail. I think these local judges consider how poor a county we are (as a whole) when they decide on these bond amounts.
Believe me, though, when I say that for 9 out of 10 people should have a higher bond than they do. I know of several times where a suspect's bond was reduced so that the family could make bond. That is egregious, as these same suspects were accused of violent, felony crimes, such as aggravated assault on a police officer. The families were mostly poor, too, so the judges involved likely weren't getting any illegal "back-door" compensation, either. |

I wil allways belive if you have the right last name you can get by with anything in george co. I will stand firm on this!! |
||||
|
I think you're right to some degree! The good ol' boy system is alive and well in George County.
|
||||
Actually if the good ol' boy system was alive and well, Brantley wouldn't be. |

10 years ago I was that kid. Let me give you some perspective on what will really happen... That kid probably was in love with him, and if things are really the same around GC then she/he will be blamed. Because of how well this guy is able to manipulate people he will be looked upon as the victim. "My daughter would never do that, I raised her better than to seduce her teacher." Yeah give me a break. These men have something wrong with them that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the kids they prey on. It has taken me 10 whole years to begin to heal from what happened. The sad part is that I got over him quickly - I realized what he was pretty fast... but the real issue for me was what my "friends" and my other teachers did to me. I walked down the halls of the high school crying for months straight because the teachers would let other students stand up in class and call me horrid names. It really doesn't matter what sentence this guy gets or how much he pays because I can guarantee you the student is paying already and will always blame himself/herself to some degree. That's what needs to change. There will always be people who hurt kids, but the problem in GC is that the bad guy usually has louder friends. I think there needs to be some support for the kids these monsters target. Forget about all the ugly thoughts you have for him because he'll meet his maker one day and (obviously) that's where real justice will get him... let's begin to recognize who the real victims are and lift them up so they can move on with their lives.

Come on guys... say something! Everyone had tons to say back when I was a kid... now I'm a grown up - BRING IT ON!
|
||||
|
Umm, I don't really think there's much to say to your story.
I will say that I agree with you on most if not all of your points. Hopefully since you were victimized, we as a society have changed how we look at these predators, and their victims. One would hope, anyway. Oh, thanks for having the courage to come here and give your opinion. |

Daily Horoscope for December 11
Virgo
This is not a day for sitting still if you can possibly avoid it because it will be a fast track to bad temper and sharp-tongued outbursts. Have plenty of short breaks, go for lots of walks or work up a sweat in the gym in your lunch-hour. If you're driving, keep an eye on the speedometer because it will be very tempting to go too fast and you'll be furious if you're caught.
