Any member of the local Kl
; wanis Club who heard Dr. Jones,
■ director of the State Crime Lan
; oratory, speak.on Thursday, June
• 23rd, lyas surprised to discover
• that Georgia is very lenient in
’its penal code. According to Dr.
Jones, a criminal may commit a
felony, be apprehended, post a
bond, and then be released. In
most cases the individual will re
turn to his criminal ways even
though he is standing bond. If
apprehended again, for another
crime he can again post bond
and he free. In many instances
it may be a year before he will
actually come to trial. By this
time the witnesses may be un
available or public opinion may
allow him to go entirely free. If
he should be found guilty, his
sentence is far less than it should
be. Dr. Jones quoted an Incident
where a criminal had assaulted
and killed a woman and was sen
tenced to life ih prison. Under
present codes and laws he was
freed in a few years for good be
havior. As we all know this is not
right. What can we do about it?
The people .themselves must
initiate action to amend the
present laws and to put teeth
into the penal code and bond re
quirements.
Dr. Jones main job at the
crime lab is to give whatever as
sistance he can to the coroner
and to the medical examiners.
This includes autopsies to deter-

modern methods for crime de
tection and analysis.
Dr. Jones gave an interesting
anecdote on the old manner of
performing the duties of coroner.
It seems that in the past cor
oners hud no conception of their
duties. One particular coroner
from Mississippi was called upon
to certify to a drowning. When
inspecting the body he found in
the victim’s wallet thirty-five
dollars. Also on the body was a
thirty-eight caliber pistol. When
the police asked him what dis
position was to be made with the
body, he stated “Bury it and fine
the accused thirty-five dollars
for carrying a conceal-weapon”.
■ Today it is entirely different. A
coroner may utilize all the mod -
ern advancements before sig
nifying to the cause of death.
. Following this Dr. Jones show
ed slides on some of the cases
which required his professional
studv. Many contained tell tale
■ clues left by the criminals and
ultimately led to their apprehen
; sion. Employing new develop
: ments in ballistics, hand writ
i ing analysis and other cate
• gories, It is possible to find that
small thread of Information
■ which can determine a person’s
guilt or innocence.
Dr. Jones concluded his talk
with a repetition of his main
contention. The people them-
