Teresa Burousas
Trial set in murder case
Teresa Burousas was in court Aug. 3 for a status and competency hearing. Judge A. Quillian Baldwin Jr. of the Coweta Circuit discussed jury selection and competency testing.
“I have no doubt she’s competent to stand trial as she sits here today,” said defense attorney Ricky Morris.
Attorneys from both sides said they believed Burousas is competent to stand trial but incomplete mental evaluations do not indicate her mental state at the time of the crime. Defense attorney Morris said he did not expect the case to take more than a week. The murder trial’s start is tentatively slated for Oct. 3.

~Poor misunderstood ACCUSED murderess Terry looks so forlorn in her stock press photo.
At the time of the alleged murder, there were hundreds of comments. It seems now everyone is too busy and doesn't have the urge to post a single comment. I believe she deserves to be noticed and at least ONE comment should be placed on this article while she awaits trial.
From the safety of my well hidden rustic cabin deep in the mountains of scenic West Virginia, I will post a human interest blurb about a local disabled, sometimes intelligent mini-pot farmer who sings and dances to the music playing in his mind and who hasn't been nabbed....YET!
```A little background on this fascinating storyline. It's the truth! Honest! I swear!```
Last week a Washington, DC telephone work crew dug down to a depth of 10 feet and found bundles of old copper wires. oBUMa received the news and immediately dispatched some FCC appointees to investigate and make a report by Monday. Whereupon, White House SpokesPropagandist, Jay Carney, told the Press Pool that Prezdent oBUMa is convinced the White House and Congress shared a telephone network dating back to the early 1850's.
On Tuesday night, Chris "tingle up my leg" Matthews was interviewing House Minority Leader Nancy Peloser on his low-rated MSNBC "show" and they discussed oBUMa's claim. Not to be out done, Peloser, wide-eyed and excitedly, proclaimed she had found out just a few minutes before air time, that a San Francisco utility worker also found bundle after bundle of old copper wires. Peloser announced on national television that since Kalifornia was once the leading technology center of the world, there had been a high-tech communications network in place there 25 years earlier than the Washington, DC network.
~~~~~~Here is the local connection to this exciting news story~~~~~~~~
It is expected that Rachel McDaniel of the PCJR will report BREAKING NEWS any minute.
A pre-press release is being formatted as I type and may possibly read like this:
Local home owner and self-proclaimed cannabis expert, Farmah Mayham, reported that while digging down to a depth of 30 feet in preparation of his new hidden pot plot, he did NOT find any COPPER WIRES! Farmah Mayham proclaimed that in the absence of any copper wires, Georgia had went WIRELESS over 200 years ago. He called Walter Geiger and reported his find..or.. lack thereof. I'm so proud to be a part of Pike County. I'll be sneaking back in 2012.

What is this world coming to? I guess this trial will go on and on and on and she'll get by with murdering her husband cause ummmm she is insane, life with no parole I assume!
But times change. People change. Circumstances prevail. Oh, that we could accurately devine other people's actions. You just never know. Unfortunately, people don't come with, "You can always trust me", or "I'm dangerous" stamped on their backsides or their foreheads. That's what makes them so dangerous.
We don't like to think that someone we know coudld do this- someone from our little county, our little town, our little school, our little group of friends. It strips away our sense of security and protection.
Since she will be tried in Pike County, all of us who thought we knew her must put aside our pre-conceptions and just impartially, based on the evidence presented. And may true justice prevail.
