Border Bash Preview

Hi everyone! Fun day on The Show today.  The first guest in was one of five District 1 candidates for County Commission, Jo'Rae Jenkins.  I had the pleasure of watching Ms. Jenkins fill out the candidate qualification paperwork last Friday at the Municipal Building and was very pleased to have her come on the show to explain what a Commissioner Jenkins administration would look like.  As The Anthony Esposito Show is your Local Election Headquarters, you'll certainly be hearing more from Ms. Jenkins on my show in the near future.

At 1pm we went a little legal eagle with a chat with Jill Peterson regarding the Troy Davis case.  Mr. Davis was accused of killing an off duty police officer in Savannah back in 1989 and was then sentenced to death.  Since his conviction, 7 of the 9 major witnesses against him have either recanted their testimony or changed their story.  Some witnesses even site police pressure as for the reason they testified against Mr. Davis.  Now, people from Bob Barr to Jimmy Carter are asking the state of Georgia to give the man a new trial.  Thanks to Jill, the CSRA is now aware of this fascinating case of a possibly innocent man's search for exoneration.

And finally, we delivered a comprehensive preview of Friday's Border Bash at the Augusta Common and Saturday's University of South Carolina Gamecocks vs. University of Georgia Bulldogs game.  If you don't know, this Saturday night at 7pm on ESPN, the Gamecocks will stroll into Athens to play the Dawgs at Sanford Stadium.  Frank Mulherin, a big Bulldog fan and one of the founders of Border Bash, and Chris Fulmer, the Aiken County head of the South Carolina Gamecock Club, were in the studio to help us preview the game.  Both super fans will be at the game on Saturday and they both predict a low scoring game.  My prediction?  Dawgs win 17-10.  Bank on it!  On second thought, don't.

See everyone tomorrow for another candidate for county commission, a local musical act, and a little "get to know Old Towne" guest.  See y'all then!
