BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) - Lawyers for a man charged with kidnapping,
molesting and killing a 6-year-old boy say his charges should be
dismissed because the grand jurors who indicted him were not
diverse enough.

The lawyers tried to convince the Glynn County Superior Court
Judge to dismiss the indictment by arguing Hispanics were
underrepresented among potential grand jurors. They also want the
trial moved to another county.

David Edenfield, his wife, Peggy Edenfield and their adult son,
George Edenfield, are accused of kidnapping, molesting and
strangling Christopher Michael Barrios Jr., who is Hispanic, in
2007 in their trailer at a mobile home park.

No charges should be dropped. A small child is dead and the truth should come out. All molesters say they are innocent.

The charges should be dismissed ONLY if he is innocent!
