Alleged murderer Jamie Weis
Caldwell tosses Weis' videotaped statement to cops
In the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 3, 2006, tearful murder suspect Jamie Weis was interviewed by police about the fatal shooting of an elderly neighbor during a Pike County burglary.
The interrogation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was videotaped as evidence. Jurors will never view that tape. Judge Johnnie Caldwell Jr. threw it out as evidence, ruling last week Weis did not knowingly and voluntarily waive his rights.
That was just one of the numerous rulings made by the judge during a hearing Wednesday, July 8, at the Pike County courthouse.

Rarely do they take anything to trial because if it gets close,then its deal time.
#7 is right if they do convict him he will win an appeal.
100 people to get jurors from?? In Atlanta the y pick from 2500 and would never let someone onto the jury that knows him or much about the case at all.
