According to the report subpoenas have been sent out to some Chattooga County residents to testify at a September 5th meeting of the Chattooga County Grand Jury regarding the case. The investigation by the Georgia Secretary of State’s office is a result of a complaint by the Chattooga County Republican Pary during the 2006 election concerning a non-partisan race for State Court Judge which saw the defeat of Sam Finister and the election of Carlton Vines.
Attorneys for Ed and Brenda Hammitt along with Rome web site owner Teresa Watson have agreed on a tentative date for the law suite being brought by the Hammit’s against Watson to be heard in a Chattooga County Court. Judge Ralph Hill extended the time before the trial at the request of the Hammitt’s attorney Bobby Lee Cook who cited that fact that Watson had switched attorney’s in the case. The pre trial hearings in the case will begin in December of this year and a jury trial should be underway by February of next year. Ms. Watson’s attorney is Vince Anderson of Dalton and a co-defendent in the case, Kennith Busbin is being represented by local Chattooga County attorney Ben Ballenger.
