BOC chair candidate postpones child cruelty trial

McDONOUGH — The trial for a Henry County commission chairman candidate who is facing a child cruelty charge has been placed “on call” at the request of his attorney after learning the trial would be delayed due to a pending murder trial.

Larry Morey was scheduled for Monday’s Henry County Superior Court trial calendar for a charge of cruelty to children in the second degree, stemming from an October 2014 incident in which he allegedly disciplined a child with a belt at the ABC Montessori school where Morey was an administrator.
