U.S. Supreme Court
won't review case
WASHINGTON (AP)
- The U.S. Supreme Court
refused Monday to consid
er whether DeKalb County
could be held liable for the
actions of former Sheriff
Sidney Dorsey in the shoot
ing death of Derwin Brown,
the man who was to have
succeeded him as sheriff.
Brown’s widow, Phyllis,
filed a wrongful death law
suit against Dorsey, the
other people involved in the
murder and the county. But
Georgia courts dismissed the
claims against the county,
ruling that DeKalb didn't
condone and couldn’t be on
the hook for the crimes of its
employees.
The Georgia Court of
Appeals ruled in November
2005 that the county could
not be held liable because
the sheriff is a state officer.
Phyllis Brown already
had been awarded the
maximum allowable by law
- $75,000 from the State
Indemnification Commission
in 2002, Gov. Sonny Perdue’s
office previously said.
Derwin Brown was shot
16 times in front of his home
in December 2000, just days
before he was to have suc
ceeded Dorsey. Suspicion
immediately fell on Dorsey,
who was later convicted of
plotting the murder and is
serving a life sentence.
Two other men - Melvin
Walker and David Ramsey -
were sentenced in November
2005 to life in federal prison
for their part in the mur
der-for-hire killing. The two,
who previously were acquit
ted in a state trial in 2002,
were convicted in August of
federal conspiracy charges
related to Brown’s slaying.

Tuesday to ban the sale of
marijuana-flavored candy in
Cobb County.
Christine Able, execu
tive director of the Osborne
Prevention Task Force, said
she is concerned the candy
encourages children to use
drugs.
Companies who sell the
candies say the lollipops,
gum drops and other treats
are geared toward adults
and that they advise retail
ers to sell the candy only to
people 18 and older.
Corona, Calif.-based
Chronic Candy uses mari
juana-related slogans in its
marketing and claims “every
lick is like taking a hit.” Its
hemp-flavored candy is pack
aged with images of bright
green marijuana leaves.
The web site for Chronic
Candy acknowledges using
“hemp essential oil” in its
products, but maintains that

Chambliss to lose agriculture gavel
WASHINGTON (AP) - As
chairman of the Senate
Agriculture Committee,
Republican Saxby Chambliss
has been preparing for
months to write a new farm
bill that would touch nearly
every crop and pasture in
the country, while helping
out his state interests along
the way.
However, he’s been
reminded just how fleeting
Washington power can be
with his party’s defeat on
Election Day, which stole
away his gavel just two years
after he won it. Georgia farm
ers say Chambliss injected
a Southern perspective into
farm legislation that will be
missed.
“I was not expecting
it,” Chambliss said of the
Democratic takeover of the
Senate. “I will miss being
chairman, I think that’s only
natural.”
The first-term senator
from Moultrie said that as
the minority ranking mem
ber of the committee, he
still will hold significant
influence over the five-year,
multi-billion-dollar reautho

rization bill.
Georgia farmers agreed
but worried that Chambliss’
demotion could hurt their
interests, which will be com
peting for limited dollars as
Congress writes the next
bill.
Terrell Hudson, a Unadilla
farmer who grows cotton,
corn, peanuts and soybeans,
said recent farm bills have
tended to favor the needs
of Midwestern farmers who
face different challenges
than Southerners.
“Saxby was in a position to
add some Southern flavor,”
Hudson said.
“He was always very recep
tive to ideas from the farm
ing community - producers’
ideas. We always appreciated
that.”
“He’s going to do what he
can, but when you lose the
... chairmanship things are a
little bit different.”
Southern farmers are con
cerned about the next farm
bill and the preservation of
commodity supports that
sustain some of their main
row crops - peanuts and cot
ton.
