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

today if the lengthy case log merits the extra

time.
