Brent Marsh May Have To Answer Questions In Civil Trial
Former Tri-State Crematory operator Brent Marsh may have to answer questions in a civil trial he is facing.
The Tennessee Court of Appeals ruled that it will be up to Circuit Court Judge Neil Thomas to rule on a question-by-question basis if Marsh continues to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.
Attorneys for the husband and children of a Bradley County woman whose remains were taken to the crematory say Marsh should no longer be allowed to plead the fifth since he pleaded guilty and is serving a 12-year prison term.
Marsh pleaded guilty in connection with the handling of several hundred bodies that were supposed to be cremated at the family's facility at Noble, Ga., near LaFayette.

Nigeria: Still On FHA And Contractors
The rebuttal a fortnight ago by Tunde Ipinmisho, Head of Corporate Affairs Federal Housing Authority of our earlier article in ThisDay captioned "How FHA shortchanges its contractors" makes interesting reading. Mr. Ipinmisho tried his best to defend the apparent ineptitude, insincerity and nonchalant attitude the management of FHA is handling the payment for jobs done by its contractors at Gwarimpa and Lugbe. However his best was not good enough as his porous defence of his management exposed them further as a team that lacks focus and prioritization of its various duties and obligations, a team that prefers to deceive its contractors, an important sector of its 'publics' a management that fiddles while its 'Rome' burns. .
Abused Girls Sue State
The top administrator of Columbia Training School directly ordered that girls be shackled at the ankles for as long as a month, in violation of state policy and federal law, and at least one male guard sexually abused a female student, with staff then ignoring complaints about the abuse. The Southern Poverty Law Center made these and other allegations of abuse in a lawsuit against the state brought on behalf of abused girls filed July 11 in federal court. The lawsuit also details Columbia staff members failure to take even rudimentary steps to prevent suicide attempts by troubled students. They gave me back a monster, wailed Audrea Sibley, whose unnamed daughter alleges a guard sexually assaulted her during her five-month stay at the facility in 2007. She pushes me away when I go to hug her.
