SUMMARY: Damonte Kendrick, one of the final two YSL defendants, is recovering after being stabbed in jail. His attorney reported that Kendrick is alert and expected to make a full recovery, despite needing stitches. The incident occurred during a physical altercation at the Fulton County Jail. As a jury deliberates Kendrick’s fate for alleged gang-related crimes, they have requested to review evidence, including music and surveillance videos. Kendrick’s attorney argues that the prosecution has not proven their case under the RICO Act. The jury, after a three-day deliberation, has taken a break for lunch before resuming.

YSL defendant Deamonte Kendrick was stabbed in jail on Sunday. However, he was back in court on Monday morning. The jury is still deliberating the fate of the last two defendants in the current trial.

SUMMARY: The Peach Pass system in Georgia is undergoing a software update, prompting motorists to check their accounts for accuracy and sufficient funding.

The Georgia Lottery reported allocating $1.49 billion for education and child care, highlighting the importance of pre-K programs.
