When interviewed by police, Hernandez said he believed the infant was possessed by spirits and that he may have been too.

Hernandez was in jail for three days before making bond..

Story 3: Taste
The annual Taste of Marietta festival took place on Sunday, bringing an estimated 24,000 people to the Marietta Square in Georgia. More than 50 food vendors sold a range of treats from ice cream to cocktails, while music performances and activities were also on offer. Attendees shared their favorite festival items, with Chicago-style hotdogs and ice cream being popular choices. Created by the Marietta Visitors Bureau in 1993, the festival takes place on the last Sunday in April every year and has grown in size over the years.
Story 4: Mt Paran
***Au***
***Instrumental BED**
Mount Paran Christian School organized "Family Serve Day" where students and their families worked to serve their community. One of the events was hosted by local real estate owner Janice Overbeck who has been hosting the event with the school for several years. This year, families upcycled plastic bags into dog leashes for Cobb County Police. The leashes were picked up by Lt. Col. Michael L. Williams who showed his gratitude to the families that made them. The Janice Overbeck Real Estate Team is working towards limiting plastic usage and finding sustainable options for items typically made from petroleum-based plastics.
STORY 5:Zoning
The Cobb Planning Commission in Marietta, Georgia, has delayed a decision on whether to authorize a proposed subdivision on Post Oak Tritt Road in east Cobb. The developer, Kenneth Clary, submitted a rezoning request for just over 13 acres in July and has reduced the number of proposed homes from 20 to 18. Opponents of the development have raised concerns that a historic log cabin and gravesite on the property could be disturbed. While the attorney representing Clary denies that there is a cemetery on the site, members of the Cobb Cemetery Preservation Commission insist that there is.
