Update to Coffee County (GA) Sheriff
For those following the story
Last Wednesday, Sheriff Rob Smith pled guilty to one count of malpractice and malfeasance in office.
Malpractice is defined as "the wrongful doing of an act which the person has no right to do, due to either evil intent or culpable neglect."
Malfeasance is "the doing of an act which a person ought not to do or the unjust performance of some act which the person has no right to do."
After his guilty plea he resigned from his office as Coffee County Sheriff and a judge (Mike Boggs) sentenced Smith to 12 months in jail. However because of the sheriff's plea agreement with the prosecuting attorney, Boggs suspended the sentence.
Let's just say that I predicted the outcome of this, in an earlier blog entry I said:
I would be rather surprised if Sheriff Smith actually served time for the crime.. for sure the charges will get everyone else on thier toes and stop the use of government property for personal gains.
