Lawyer Indicted on Charges of Felony Theft by Conversion

An Early County lawyer is indicted for stealing more than $100,000 from the trust fund of an incapacitated girl he was hired to protect.

44-year old Thomas Sasser the Third was indicted by the Early County grand jury Tuesday afternoon on charges of felony theft by conversion.

Prosecutors say Sasser was stealing money from the trust fund of 14 year old Ashley James who was burned in a murder attempt when she was three years old.

Dougherty D.A. Greg Edwards said “It was noticed by persons who were also involved with maintaining the child’s welfare.”

The Children of Martin Luther King Jr.

King’s four children have a long history of exploiting their father’s good deeds for cash. Low lights include…

* Attempting to auction off their father’s private papers (which they had previously withheld from the public unless the public wished to pay a fee). These papers, including an early draft of the “I Have a Dream” speech were spared from auction when a group of philanthropists banded together and paid off the King children to the tune of $32 million.

* Demanding millions in “licensing fees” for campaign paraphernalia (mostly homemade) linking their father to then-candidate Barack Obama.

* Hurling lawsuits at one another over their parents’ estate after Coretta Scott King died in 2006.

The latest disgrace hit newsstands when it was revealed that the King children are charging the National Memorial Project Foundation for the privilege to create a memorial to their father.

Daughters Seeking Guardianship

Tamara Carter and Renita Head are questioning why the staff at Heartland of Holly Glen did not know their father, 96-year-old Golden Braswell, disappeared from their watch.

Braswell was discovered by Toledo police crews sitting in the middle of traffic in his broken down motorized wheelchair, a mile away from the nursing care facility.

Before Saturday’s disappearance, the family was already fighting to get him out of the nursing home.

The daughters are concerned that their father did not have his two monitors with him (one on his wrist and the other on his wheelchair). They also believe the stories from the police and the nursing home are conflicting.

Head: “We are petitioning the court to get legal guardianship over him. We hope to take him back to Georgia to our home, to love, to nurture him and to honor him.”

Judge Accused of Assaulting Mom

A part-time judge, who sometimes works at Fulton County Juvenile Court, is accused of assaulting her mother.

Judge Jacqueline Gibson and two siblings are all charged following a fight that broke out over custody of the 92-year old woman.

Some believe the family feud surrounds the mother’s property and it all came to a head recently at a sibling’s home.

According to documents obtained by Channel 2 Action News reporter Tom Jones, Judge Gibson and her brother, Gary Gibson, went to their sister’s house to take their mother away, since Gary Gibson is the guardian. With an Atlanta Police officer there, one side says the mother didn’t want to leave.

Attorney Elizabeth Rogan, who represents Gibson’s sister Blair King: “She did not want to go. She resisted. And a fight broke out. It’s a very complicated unhappy story.”

Guardian Shot Grandson

Robert Clark Jr. could quickly move from playing with his 6-year-old grandson to yelling at him, said a neighbor.

Michael Levigne, 6, and his younger brother lived with their grandparents for about four years, since guardianship was switched by a probate court.

Police say Clark shot and killed the boy in an incident that may have been triggered by the boy dropping a watermelon or cutting into it before his grandfather wanted him to. Clark also shot and wounded his wife before police shot him, according to Commerce Police Chief John Gaissert.

State Child Advocate Thomas Rawlings said Tuesday that his office is looking into the child’s death. He wants to know whether DFCS performed any assessment of the grandparents as adequate care providers.

Chief John Gaissert said there were “no flags” that suggested that Robert Lewis “Bobby” Clark was set to explode.
