Alabama Chief Justice Sarah Stewart has appointed a retired judge to handle the trial of a man accused of the 2019 killing of a college student. The appointment was made under a new state law that allows visiting judges to be brought in to handle violent criminal cases in order to get them to trial more quickly.

Blanchard, a Southern Union State Community College student and stepdaughter of prominent UFC fighter Walt Harris, was last seen on Oct. 23, 2019. Her remains were discovered about a month later in a wooded area of Macon County.

When was the last time tears streamed down your face, your heart ached and your thoughts were too jumbled to think clearly? When did you know beyond a doubt that this time, for sure, your situation was hopeless?
I like to think I’m a kind person, but when someone disrespects me or disagrees with me on something I care about, I find it hard.
Can you recall how heavy your worst sin felt before you confessed it to God and received forgiveness? Imagine if the crushing weight of all your sins (every sin you’ve ever committed) suddenly dropped on you.
Are you overwhelmingly discouraged – and so, so, so embarrassed? As you make big, stupid choices and constant small ones, do you feel as if the guilt of your sins will eventually crush you? You’ve failed and failed – and failed – so often that you don’t know where to go from here.
