Quisenberry takes role of governor during youth legislature
 Hundreds of students got an inside look at state government after participating in the 62nd session of the Alabama YMCA Youth Legislature Conference in Montgomery Feb. 22, but only one had the chance to serve as governor.

Convicted robber gets 99 years
A convicted robber of an Enterprise business will spend the rest of his life behind bars — a sentence Circuit Judge Robert Barr said fit the danger of the crime.

The sentence, Barr said, was a “fair” sentence because of not only Jones’s criminal history, but also because Jones used a gun while robbing the business.
