DA Fani Willis not held in contempt at hearing | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: A judge today rejected a motion to hold Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in contempt for not testifying in a case related to the state’s open records law. The subpoena claims Willis’s office has ignored the law, which her team argues is a harassment tactic. The judge stated that Willis cannot be in contempt until she is called to the stand and fails to appear. However, the judge indicated that future disciplinary action against Willis remains a possibility.
A Fulton County Superior Court judge ruled on Thursday that DA Fani Willis could not be held in contempt because she was not yet called to testify. The DA did not show up to a hearing addressing claims her office violated the Georgia Open Records Act.

Man missing in Lake Lanier after jumping in to swim
SUMMARY: Ramon Diaz Soria went missing in Lake Lanier after jumping from a boat during a birthday party around 7 p.m. despite wearing a life vest, as he couldn’t swim. Rescue crews, including Forsyth County Sheriff’s and Georgia DNR teams, searched through the night and resumed efforts today, but rough conditions halted sonar use. Ramon’s family, devastated, describes him as their light and father figure who cared for them and the community. They found a life vest floating but no sign of Ramon. The family pleads for prayers and community help in continuing the search if he isn’t found by tonight.
The family says he was boating with friends when he jumped in to swim. Family members told FOX 5 the man was wearing a lifejacket.

Best summer jobs for teens | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: Teens across the U.S. are searching for summer jobs, but employers like Morey’s Piers in Wildwood, New Jersey, are finding it increasingly difficult to hire enough local teens. The amusement park hires over 1,500 part-time workers each summer, often relying on international students with J-1 visas due to a shrinking domestic workforce. Summer job participation among teens is trending downward, despite decent pay in some sectors like construction. Still, resort jobs like those at Morey’s offer a fun and engaging environment. The challenge remains: while summer jobs exist, fewer teens seem interested in filling them.
Now that school is out, teenagers will be looking to make a little extra money. Here’s a look at some of the best jobs out there.
