  • News Minute: Man accused of Pinetree golf course killings pleads not guilty

    News Minute: Man accused of Pinetree golf course killings pleads not guilty
    Dec 21 2022

    Bryan Anthony Rhoden pleaded not guilty Monday morning in the killing of three people in July 2021 at Pinetree Country Club, Cobb County District Attorney Flynn Broady said.

    Rhoden, 25, is facing the death penalty for his alleged role in the kidnapping and slaying of Paul Pierson, 76, of Kansas, and Henry Valdez, 46, of California. He is accused of binding the two men in Jonesboro, driving them to the Kennesaw golf course and shooting them there.

    The third victim — Gene Siller, who worked as Pinetree’s golf pro — is believed by investigators to have been shot and killed because he came upon an active crime when he went to investigate a truck on the course.

    Smyrna Man Shot Dead By Police
    Oct 24 2023
    MDJ Script/ Top Stories for Oct 24th   Publish Date:  Oct 23rd   Commercial: Henssler :15  From the Henssler Financial Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.  Today is Tuesday, October 24th and Happy 76th Birthday to actor Kevin Kline. ***DAVE – BALANCING THE BUDGET***I’m Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Smyrna Man Shot Dead By PoliceGeorgia Council on Literacy Upholds Marietta as State Model3.    Acworth Man Gets 20 Years for Producing Child Porn All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: CU of GA  STORY 1: Smyrna Man Shot Dead By PoliceA man, identified as Marthely Theodore, who was being investigated for allegedly pointing a gun at passing motorists, died after a confrontation with police in Cobb County. Multiple 911 calls reported Theodore's actions. Smyrna Police requested assistance from Cobb County Police to meet Theodore at an intersection, but he repeatedly refused to drop his gun and pointed it at officers. As he advanced towards the officers with the firearm raised, they shot him. Theodore was taken to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. The Georgia Bureau of Investigations is investigating the incident, with the case file to be reviewed by the Cobb Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office. STORY 2: Georgia Council on Literacy Upholds Marietta as State ModelThe Georgia Council on Literacy, a 30-member panel created by the General Assembly to improve literacy in Georgia, is determined to address the state's low literacy rate despite discouraging statistics. Around 56% of Georgia's third graders struggle with proficient reading. Marietta City School District was highlighted as a model for success, implementing the science of reading in its curriculum and investing in teachers and students. The district offers after-school tutoring for students who scored below grade level on standardized tests, hired more reading specialists, and partnered with the Atlanta Speech School for literacy improvement. The council emphasizes early childhood education and the science of reading to close the literacy gap and prepare students for future success. STORY 3: Acworth Man Gets 20 Years for Producing Child PornA 32-year-old Acworth man was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to producing child pornography. Billy Calhoun convinced multiple minor girls he met online to send him sexually explicit videos and images by pretending he was a teenage boy. Law enforcement became aware of Calhoun's activities after a local middle school reported the exploitation of one of its students. Investigators discovered that Calhoun had received explicit content from multiple minor girls and found hundreds of other child pornography images and videos. In addition to his prison sentence, Calhoun will have to register as a sex offender. The case was part of Project Safe Childhood, an initiative to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.
