Severely beaten south Georgia judge dies

A south Georgia judge who was severely beaten two weeks ago has died. 74-year-old Glenn Thomas Jr. succumbed to head injuries he suffered in an attack at his Jesup law office. Thomas was being treated at Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah. Authorities now expect to file murder charges against Bobby Rex Stribling. He's been in jail since his arrest a day after the June 25th beating.
Police say Stribling attacked Thomas in his office, beating the judge multiple times in the head with a blunt weapon, then taking his wallet and stealing his truck.

Thomas was a Recorders Court judge and served as district attorney for 30 years in the Brunswick Judicial Circuit.
