The Lamar County grand jury will convene on September 12 with over 140 cases on its docket.

Not among them is the murder case against Frenchie Fambro whose murder charges were dismissed and walked free last week.

What I would like to know is why is it taking the grand jury 6 months to go over these charges? 2 arrests I know happened in March. What is going on? When I lived in Henry County people were brought up on charges the next month after the grand jury went over the cases. Henry county is alot bigger and more arrests than Lamar county. Is this another "small town politics" thing going on? Unbelievable. This should definitely be looked into and investigated.

Henry County is the only county in their circuit. Lamar is in the Circuit with Butts and Monroe. So, you get the picture!

What's unbelievable is your apparent lack of understanding of the justice process.

So what part of my statement is lack of understanding of the justice process? I want to know why these cases 6 months ago through 3 months ago have not already been processed by the grand jury as no billed or indictments. That is how criminals get off. The memory of the crime fades away over time for the victim. Don't tell me , let me guess, the grand jury here in Lamar meets only twice a year??

Your statement that the grand jury is taking over 6 months to review these cases. I would think the these cases have been in the DA's office as they gather evidence and put together their case. When they are presented to grand jury it will likely be first time they've heard the case.

Henry County has more prosecutors and judges to try all their cases too.

There are a number of reasons why cases don't go before the next grand jury that convenes after a person is arrested. Sometimes lawyers have conflicting cases in other courts that prohibit them from being in two places at once. Sometimes, the calendar is already full and, quite simply, every pending case can't be heard.

Murderers and child molesters are not "let off" due to untimely trials. I know that it sometimes happens if unscrupulous defense attorneys bombard the courts with boat loads of petitions for speedy trials, but this is in cases such as DUI's and drug charges. NOT murder and child molestation. I don't think I've ever heard of one murderer or child molester getting off due to lack of speedy trial.
