Business is picking up at Fayette Superior Court as the next trial session looms just around the corner.

The calendar was trimmed a great deal late last week, with some 50 pleas being entered just Thursday, according to the District Attorney's office. More hearings on pleas and motions were conducted Friday.

The grand jury convened Monday and Tuesday of this week, with its work possibly spilling over into today if the lengthy case log merits the extra time.

Criminal trials are set to begin here Monday, Sept. 27.

George Clinton Britt — obstruction of an officer.
