  • 1/23/2025

I enjoyed watching the presidential inauguration on television Monday, although I always wish those events could be outside.

Appreciation For Thorough Work In Jasmine Pace Murder Investigation and Trial
  • 1/23/2025

Like many people in our area, I followed the trial for the murder of Jasmine Pace. I was repeatedly impressed by the thoroughness of the investigation and the use of technology to provide DA Wamp with the facts she needed to weave a solid presentation for the jury's consideration.

Thank you to those members of the jury and to the law enforcement ... more
