Tuesday afternoon, the Georgia State Legislature was able to pass House Bill 426, colloquially known as “The Hate Crimes Bill” through both chambers.
While most Republicans were patting themselves on the back for getting House Bill 426 across the finish line, Speaker of the House David Ralston admitted there was renewed support to get the bill passed once the video of Ahmaud Arbery’s murder surfaced during the coronavirus-induced recess.
Additionally, the Georgia NAACP voiced their pleasure with the passage of the Hate Crimes Bill.
The passing of Georgia’s Hate Crimes Bill arrived during the time Rayshard Brooks’s funeral was taking place at Ebenezer Baptist Church and House Bill 838 passed through the Legislature which is loosely titled, the “Police Bill of Rights.”

The parties released their proposals and expressed fears that the electoral body allayed at the weekend.The National Electoral Commission (Nec) held a meeting with all political parties last week in which they were told to sign new codes of conduct or risk being excluded from election campaigns.

CHICAGO (AP) — A Cook County judge on Friday shot down actor Jussie Smollett’s attempt have the criminal charges against him dropped, telling the actor that the new charges against him do not violate his right against double jeopardy.
Smollett’s attorneys made the double jeopardy argument after a special prosecutor secured a six-count indictment on charges alleging that he lied to police about a racist and anti-gay attack that police say he staged himself.
The new case came months after the county’s state’s attorney’s office abruptly announced it was dropping charges against the actor, angering police and City Hall.
The way Judge James Linn saw it, the only way double jeopardy would apply is if Smollett was legally punished for what had happened to him since he was charged in connection with the January 2019 incident in downtown Chicago.
But Linn determined that the deal in which the state’s attorney’s office agreed to drop charges without requiring Smollett to admit any wrongdoing and Smollett agreed to forfeit his $10,000 bond did not add up to legal punishment.
