Maybe he was smiling at his parents and wife. The story said they were present in the courtroom. Not defending the accused, but in the photograph he appears to be smiling at someone, not show boating for the media.

While I completely understand how easy it would have been to take this image out of context, I am the newspaper representative that shot the photo and I can vouch for the notion of showboating. While he did tell his family he loved them, he also carried himself more confidently and, dare I say, with bravado than he did in his first court appearance.

With regards,

Drew

Well, then I stand corrected. LOL.

Well for whatever reason, the murderer was smiling. Graves family should have been there and beat the living s--- out of him. How dare he smile after killing an innocent man. That's ok, cause when he goes to prison(if he goes to prison) he'll get what he deserves. The reason I say if he goes to prison is because so many murderers get off way too easy.

I'll bet he grits his teeth a little harder and the grimace of his face will be less jolly when "Big Bubba" makes him his new girlfriend.

Maybe he is smiling cause he found out he likes men and loves jail.

well i have been reading the updates of lamar co. crimes and you know we had some people caught with meth, and murder. and i see where these people are going before the judge and recieving punishment, however there was four people that was charged with 6 counts of commercial burgulary. i guess my question is why havnt they been tried or punished? i know they wasnt selling or doing meth on mill st. and they are not black but if you do the crime i think you should be punished regarless of who you are , whether you black, white, well known. JUSTICE SHOULD BE SERVED!!!!!!!!!!!!

any time you're out of the lamar county back.... it's a time to smile...

This guy seems to be pretty happy to be in jail for murder! I guess that is because he is in there getting messed up on booze and drugs so it really dont matter to him huh? Give me a break.. smiling at his family.. NOT! If he had one bit of compassion for what he has done and for his family he would be crying... tears rolling down his face because I am sure that his family wasnt smiling like that. He is a arrogant jack ass in my opinion.

I gotta a question? This Jason Finch fellow, wasn't he in jail when the weapons were made-believe he was released on the following monday. And if talk is like gold here, then why was Jason there argueing with Mickey the night of the murder. But the main question is this; Why aren't Mickey and Jason in jail for there part in this murder? Guess being a snitch will get u places here in lamar co.

Ok so this geek monster admitted to shooting the man but says it was an accident.

OK where are all of his followers that was on the other topic about this a month or 2 ago saying "i guarantee that there is more to it. He didnt shoot anyone. Wait till it all comes out." bla bla bla.. he is admitting it so obviously his followers dont have the good info that they thought they did. Their word is worth nothing now.

Jason is an idiot. He has always been an idiot through school. He has been in and out of jail a lot of his life. He is a burden on society. When are we gonna do away with these ppl that keep on costing the tax payers money. I would rather pay money to keep them off the streets and in prison that to keep forking out money for trials and such so they can keep riding the roads of barnesville and getting into all kinds of stuff. We have to pay for these types of idiots no matter what. Why not put them away and pay for them.

You are the idiot. He had nothing to do with this, if he did he would be in jail. The police have the person who commited the crime,so give it a break.
