    Georgia Supreme Court raises concerns about 2019 child custody law
    Feb 21 2025
    CTL Script/ Top Stories of February 21st Publish Date: February 21st   Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast  Today is Friday, February 21st and Happy Birthday to Alan Rickman ***02.21.25 - BIRTHDAY - ALAN RICKMAN I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Georgia Supreme Court raises concerns about 2019 child custody law Man Charged With Murder After Shooting at Cherokee County Home DeJoy Delivers Exit Notice to USPS After Five Years Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on seed oil We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Commercial: WILDLIFE EXPO_REV_FINAL STORY 1: Georgia Supreme Court raises concerns about 2019 child custody law The Georgia Supreme Court has raised concerns about the 2019 Equitable Caregiver law, which allows non-parents to seek custody or visitation rights if they demonstrate a parental role and bond with a child. In *Dias v. Boone*, the court reversed a lower court's decision granting Abby Boone equitable caregiver status over Michelle Dias’s child, ruling the law didn’t apply as Boone’s relationship with the child predated the law. While the justices questioned the law’s constitutionality regarding parental rights, they did not strike it down, instead issuing a narrow ruling specific to this case. STORY 2: Man Charged With Murder After Shooting at Cherokee County Home A man, David Daniel, 44, has been arrested and charged with murder after Michael Kyle Reid, 42, was found dead from a gunshot wound in a carport on North Lake Drive near Canton on Monday night. Deputies responded to the scene around 10:22 p.m., where Daniel, the boyfriend of the homeowner, was present alongside Reid, an acquaintance of both. A firearm was recovered at the scene. Daniel is being held without bond at the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center as the investigation continues. STORY 3: DeJoy Delivers Exit Notice to USPS After Five Years Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced plans to step down after five years leading the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). The USPS Board of Governors will begin searching for his successor. DeJoy, whose tenure was marked by controversy, implemented modernization efforts to cut costs by $4 billion annually and increase revenue by $5 billion. Despite these changes, USPS expects a $6.9 billion net loss in fiscal year 2025. DeJoy praised the 640,000 USPS employees for their resilience amid challenges and highlighted ongoing efforts to improve service standards and competitiveness. USPS remains self-funded, relying on postage and services for operations. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.
