Or was it a hunting accident.

I wonder how they will try and defend this one!!!!

Mystery of the missing shrimp
By Gordon Jackson, The Times-Union
ST. MARYS - Despite accusations, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources is denying any role in the mystery of the disappearing shrimp off Cumberland Island. -------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
The missing shrimp became an issue after a former National Park Service ranger on Cumberland Island sent a message to state Rep. Cecily Hill, R-St. Marys, with a claim that a DNR trawler pulled more than 500 pounds of shrimp from the sound side of the barrier island on Nov. 19 and left none for commercial and recreational castnetters.
Hill said she contacted DNR officials over the weekend and is now satisfied they did nothing inappropriate. Although no castnetters have complained to her, Hill said she felt an obligation to check out the claim by former ranger Zach Kirkland, who said neighbors told him the DNR trawler made six passes and netted all the shrimp.
Hill said DNR officials told her they dropped their nets in two locations, near Dungeness and Greyfield Inn, and pulled no more than 5 pounds of shrimp from the water. The shrimp were donated to a nonprofit organization in Brunswick, DNR officials said.
"They were taking tests to determine the health of shrimp in the area," Hill said. "They were just doing their jobs."
Kirkland questioned why the vessel lowered its nets in an area fished by castnetters and whether it is a coincidence the shrimp disappeared after the trawler left.
"Someone has vastly different stories," Kirkland said. "This place was loaded with shrimp. They [fishermen] were doing quite well."
Kirkland said he wasn't a witness and all he wanted to do was make sure DNR officials had done nothing inappropriate.
"I think we accomplished what we wanted to do," Kirkland said. "All I asked her [Hill] to do was look into the matter."
Spud Woodward, DNR assistant director for marine fisheries, said he was surprised at the complaint because a DNR trawler has done exactly the same thing every month for the past 31 years. The monthly survey - the longest of its type on the East Coast - determines the overall health of shrimp, blue crab and fish populations. The trawler fishes the same locations - including the ones off Cumberland - each month and have been seen in the area for years, he said.
"The real value of the survey is it's been going on over 30 years," he said. "It's strength is in its continuity."
Woodward said the monthly studies help DNR officials determine the length of fishing seasons and monitor trends.
If the trawler were to have netted 500 pounds of shrimp, as claimed, Woodward said the agency's policy is to put the majority of shrimp back into the water as close as possible to where they were caught.
"We try to do our very best to avoid conflicts," he said. "The information [gathered during the monthly survey] is valuable to determine the status of shrimp."
As for the shrimp disappearing soon after the trawler left the area, Woodward said the monthly survey played no role. Instead, he said other factors such as a full moon creating high tides, a cold-weather spell and rainy weather could have driven the shrimp into deeper water.
"That's just a circumstantial relationship," Woodward said of shrimp disappearing with the arrival of the DNR boat. "I assure you the trawler did not drive the shrimp out of the area."

Open Records Request
Guess what the Sheriff's response will be!
Leave a comment as to what you think it will be.
I say he does not release them due to litigation. How much you want to bet.

How can (who is supposed to be an honorable, unbiased, trusted member of the legal system) a judge, stand up and turn her back on a trial that is going on in "her" courtroom? At that point she should have been stripped of all legal duties as an "honorable" judge. That takes away a persons right to a fair trial when you have a (and I use this term very loosely) "honorable" judge turns her back on a case that she is hearing. The law is the law, period. You as a judge "must" hear the trial presented in front of you. Also this is the same person who presided over Dennis Perry's so called "fair" trial, and in the same breath she has been known to not hear all evidence presented in another case and form a biased opinion IN THE COURTROOM! So I ask, how can a defendant {Perry} and his lawyers present a case when she does not allow certain evidence (DNA, I will say that again...DNA!!!) that undoubtedly proves Perry innocent? And this so called "honorable" judge says that the DNA is not significant to Perry's case and will not allow it. The word here people is justice, and there isn't any, at least not for Perry. What happened to "all evidence will be heard"? What happened to judges who care about who they put in prison? What happened to "And Justice For All"? Thanks for reading and I hope some of you may rethink the way "our" (meaning yours too, this could easily be you in Perry's shoes) legal system is run.

I think Corky had better be very careful about who he threatens with jail time, as he's closer to it than he thinks. Don't forget Corky, there is still proof that you were willing to lie on the witness stand for Bill Smith and John Johnson. Be careful...BE VERY CAREFUL!!

Ask Nancy Bailey with Watson Realty, she is the friend of Dr.Chua's that totally stabbed him in the back working with the DA and the court appointed reciever to insure that they siezed all of his assets and sell them while she sat back and collected the commissions. She is the one that produced John Doe #10, after he testified he walked right off the stand to sit with Nancy Bailey and she took him to lunch and back to the airport so he could fly home. She is the one that was there 2 weeks ago with the reciever making sure Dr.Chua's sister didn't take anything that Nancy believed to be the Dr.s while the sister was being evicted. She is the one who is setting up the auction of his personal belongings. She is the one that visited Dr.Chua in jail and then went straight to the DA to tell him the details of the conversation. So she knows what property he once owned, but be careful around her, she helped send him to prison and she was his friend for years, so screwing you would be nothing.
